The Hawk Queen Bed 9:48pm
I Am God
I Am The Only God
I Know
please do not punish Me
for what I think
I think with My Brain
with My Body
& It is the only
Brain & Body
I Know
The Hawk Queen Bed 10:22pm
I have stood above
My Paintings
cascading colours
like Jackson Pollock
in a filthy studio
yet now I stand
Above The World
to write a message
not of hope
but of COMPASSION
for it is THAT HUMAN TRAIT
We lack
Which has turned Us
upside
down
The Hawk Deck 10:22am
It’s A Fine Time For Me
to write of The Religion For One
out here on My Pristine Deck
in The August Morning Sun —
What Can I Tell Of My View
Of The Self?
The Birds How They Cry
for broken hearts
& bombed civilians —
but wait —
NO ONE SHOULD GET BOMBED:
Ours Is An Earth
of exquisite beauty
& must not be marred
by hatred & distrust —
I Am Here To Settle Out
the chaos
To Re-organize
The Individual Mind
To See Out Its Full Potential
& Have It Believe
in Life
The Tomato-coloured Couch 9:37pm
1. Second Coming Of Christ —
immediate result of The Shower Of Silver Lights
aspects: brilliant light, whiteness (not skin colour),
awakening, worldly vision
–
2. The Anti-Christ —
wants to obliterate Christianity —
I don’t want to obliterate
anyone’s religion but I do wonder
what this world would be like
with only One Religion
–
3. Black Jesus —
black in colour (not skin colour),
represents compassion,
humanity’s darkness
used in conjunction as opposing element in
The Grand Design Of Our Reconciliation Of Opposites
The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:17pm
How Can I Stop
The World
& Say I Am All Things:
I Am The Second Coming
Of Christ —
I Am The Anti-Christ
I Am Black Jesus
waiting out this mess
in My Cathedral-ceilinged
Living Room
where no one dies
cats are cared for
& The Radio Plays
Pretty Songs?
The Hawk West Desk Window 6:34pm
My Famous Shower Of Lights
was not blinding
Its Radiant Spears
Snapped Me To Attention
and Made Me See
For An Eternity
The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:57pm
What would I say if faced
with a pregnant woman about to walk
into an abortion clinic?
“That Human You Carry
Comes From You —
To Kill It Is To Kill A Sacred Part
Of Your Self”
The Hawk Window Seat 2:22pm
I Am The Warrior In Grey
My Broad Shoulders
Rising From
My Silver Gown
I Am Ready To Fight
For The Permanent Existence
Of Humankind
On This Planet
& anywhere
else
* Linkin Park
The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:37pm
Am I feeding The Masses
pieces of Loaves & Fishes
in tiny bites
no prose —
only verse after verse
for ever-shortening attention spans?
