SILVER POEM

The Hawk Portico 4:15pm

Silver is not a barbaric relic

as Gold has been called

Silver as a standard of measurement

is tried & true

I may be worth millions

in a very short time

as I have bought into

The Sterling Which Fell On My Head

at a specific date

one sunny afternoon

over twenty years ago

& Which has been incubating

ever since

MY UNIVERSE

The Hawk Portico 9:22am

I am The Director Of My Universe

Oh, I am influenced

by outside factors

but deep inside Me

ultimately

I am My Own Guide

A CALL TO ARMS

The Hawk Portico 9:11pm

I Am The Call

Of The Black Crow

Outside My Kitchen Deck

Insistent, Declarative

Hungry For Any Response

In The Awakening Distance

Of Our Waiting World

THE VOICE

The Hawk West Desk Window 9:11pm

The Voice, My Voice

which emanates from

My Sordid Black Box

is The Strident Voice Of Command

laying out facts

straight on a platter

not as an offering

but with the insistence

that You take

what I dish out

not as punishment

but to quell the notion

of an ideal world

for Our World is The Real World

dark & defiant

crawling with Human Beings

 

MY BLACK BOX

The Hawk West Desk Window 8:22pm

What if I could wipe out

all religions

in one fell swoop

but leave God intact?

What is My Vision of God —

a little leprechaun

or a giant pink cloud

or, cutting through that hokiness  —

is My Vision

of The Guttural Voice

— not a vision at all —

but My Voice when I speak

standing within the confines

of My Black Box?

WHAT WILL STOP YOU?

The Hawk West Desk Window 12:15pm

What Will Stop You

Dead In Your Tracks:

An Ambulance Siren

The Sight Of An Injured Child

Or The Time On Your Watch

Coinciding With A Calendar Date?

CLEAN SWEEP

The Hawk West Desk Window 11:03am

I’ll never tire

of picking up Galaxies

of dust & cat hair

inside My House

My Right Hand is The Perfect Tool

& The Waste Basket

The Perfect Receptacle

MY ADVERSARIAL GOD

The Hawk West Desk Window 9:11am

My God is not The God

of honey & sunshine

butterflies & beetles —

My God is The God

of 9/11

Hard-hitting & Hard-core

The God of The Dark

through Which railing against

We find Our Heart-felt

Heart-beating Meaning

of Life

MY GOD

The Hawk West Desk Window September 9, 2013 10:39pm

God Is A Device

Created In My Own Mind

THE TIME OF LINKAGE

The Hawk Family Room 9:11am

I am seeing ahead of My Self

to The Time Of Linkage

between The Black Crow

hanging in My Living Room

to “Good Morning, World!”

floating on My TV Screen

veiled over by The Shroud

of My World Trade Center Roof Top Painting

titled Self Organizing Galaxy
