TRIBUTE TO EMILY DICKINSON

“Tell all the Truth but tell it slant –

I Am The Second Coming Of Christ

Success in Circuit lies

I Am The Second Coming Of Christ

Too bright for our infirm Delight

I Am The Second Coming

The Truth’s superb surprise

I Am A White North American Female

As Lightening to the Children eased

Coming To A Store Near You

With explanation kind

EYE

The Truth must dazzle gradually

AM

Or every man be blind –”

GOD

THE UBIQUITOUS FACE

The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:45pm

We Are The Face

Of God

look no further

than You Own

Navel

Where You Came From

& where Your Inheritance

came from

before You were born

That Little Bird Again

The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:00pm

I perceived The Little Yellow Bird again

in The Scraggly Apple

& He Tweeted — what did He Tweet to Me

before My Daughter called to ask

if I could find Her Horse Binder

(She’s trying to sell Her Horse)

Did That Little Yellow Bird Tell Me

He’s sick of all this New Age Shit

about feebleness conquering strength

about Our New Era

when “God” is (finally?) questioned

when Humanity is being examined

when The Global Financial Picture is a blur

— but still no answers —

nothing concrete

so came The Little Bird Tweet

MY GOD BODY

The Hawk West Window 1:02pm

Eating My Deli Turkey Sandwich

I realized

My Body tells Me what to do

It has authority over My Every Move

It tells Me when I need to eat

need to yawn

need to sigh

need to pee

It takes heed of all My Perceptions

& provides a whole range of Voodoo Pains

for Me to interpret

It tells Me when I need to sleep

It leads My Life

My Body is My Guide

& My God

(& nobody else’s)

THE JOKER

The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:30pm

One hospitalized night

I saw The Meaning Of Life

open out before My Astonished Eyes

to reveal a profound Joke —

A Joke I had no way of expressing

but A Joke to make The World Laugh

not to Death

but to Life

A New Life, A New Era

where God is unnecessary

where God can be laughed off

laughed at

& thrown into a corner

a rigid corner, or pocket (like a pool table)

where He can see

He no longer resides

on Earth

except in the form

of uncornered Humans

Who find Their True Meaning

in a spirituality

unseparate

Atop The Scraggly Apple

The Hawk Deck 1:00pm

The Yellow Bird has visited again —

He has not chirped of God

but of His Friend

in another tree

OWNERSHIP

The Hawk Deck 11:30am

I Am God THE OBSERVER

I Am God THE LISTENER

I Am A Human Being

In Love With The Land

Where She Lives

BONUM NON EST IN DEO:

On the Indistinction of the One and the

Exclusion of the Good in Meister Eckhart

“I Am The Child —

Big Black Book Upon My Lap

A Smattering Of The Universe

Bespotting This Page

Of Lights

From My Diamond Rings”

The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:47pm

A Yellow Bird Told Me To Write This

The Hawk Deck 11:25pm

I Am God

And From God

I Am Not Separate

From The Tiny Wing-ed Bug

On My White Sleeve

THE FIRST DRINK

The Hawk Kitchen 7:50pm

I have drunk My First Beverage

W–A–T–E–R

from My Chalice Divine

standing before My Dramatic Sky

of heavy mauve cloud

& Illuminated Gull

reaching around

to the sea-view
