MAESTRO

The Hawk West Desk Window 1:20pm

What orchestrates The Music

of The Universe?

What perpetuates The Orbital Spin

of Our Galactic Bodies?

Our Home Planets?

Time It cannot be

for Time is a Human Construct —

What then in Its Own Magic

raises Our Suns & Moons

guides Us through Our Days & Nights

allowing Us to Breathe?

SELF-CONTAINMENT

The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:22pm

I am self-contained

I do not need another

half

a partner of religion

of life

I can eat My Ice Cream

alone

on My Tomato-coloured Couch

and not worry

about

a God-damn

Thing

WESTERN FEMININE APPEAL

COLLIDES WITH ISLAM

SNOW JOB

The Hawk Kitchen 1:10pm

My Voice Is Signalling Me

To Write Of The Abomination

That Is Christmas:

How Can I Devour

The Little Children’s Innocence

When They Hear Of Santa

Coming Down A Vaginal Chimney

When They Hear The Living Lie

Of That Baby Jesus

Immaculately Conceived?

INTELLECTUALIZING

The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:50pm

I am The Intellectual

sitting cross-legged on My Tomato-coloured Couch

drinking lemon-flavoured seltzer

from My Life Message Glass

I gaze from My Central Candle

to The Winter Window

& wonder when My “Good Morning, World!”

will enter every household

10/22

The Hawk Deck 9:38am

The World Is Waiting

The Guns Have Been Silenced

I Will Come Forward

With A Primitive Call

To Hands, Arms Extended

— The Reconstruction —

Waiting In Our Laps

Our Greatest Power

TIME NOTATION

The Hawk Queen Bed 10:22pm

He sees Me as I see Myself

He knows Me as I know My Self

He is My Mirror Image

I will follow Him forever

as He has followed Me

since The Dawn of Time

LUNCH

The Tomato-coloured Couch 2:37pm

God is sitting above

a sky-black plate

eating Her bagel sandwich

dropping an array of crumbs

on the outcropping

of The Cosmos

TEENAGER’S LAMENT

The Hawk West Desk Window 7:38am

A Teenager’s Lament to His Mother:

“You had Me believe in Santa Claus

You had Me believe in The Easter Bunny

Now You ask Me to believe in God?”

CANCELLATION?

The Hawk Portico 3:10pm

That Little Man was not any part

of My Magnificent Shower Of Silver Lights

March 31st 1993

He came later

October 22nd 1993

Can I cancel Him out now

twenty years since

He caressed My Arms

in silence

upon My Conveyance

“There

Is

A

God”

?

Suddenly I drew in My Breath

but when I exhaled

was He Gone?
