CONVICTION

The Hawk West Desk Window 10:46am

I am convinced

that God is Woman —

the more I clean My House

or try to —

the more galaxies I create

the more black holes I fill

& the more germs

rather than eliminate

I choose to live with —

I am convinced

MORNING SKY

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:09am

The Sky is heavy blue

with cloud —

The Sea the colour of plasticine

Rudy’s Head sits veiled in The Living Room

unseen

while He’s back in hospital

The Colossal Blades from

MEMORABILIA

Eliza’s Room 9:33pm

EYE sleep tonight

beneath the accouterments

of fame

surrounding the lavender corner

of My Daughter’s outgrown

room

it’s tiny — the room

the fame is huge

delineated by My Survival

of photos stretched out and hung

with congratulatory letters from New York City’s Former Mayor Ed Koch

and New Jersey’s Former Governor Thomas H. Kean

for My Painting Self Organizing Galaxy

which spawned 9/11

M(EYE) BODY

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 4:15pm

will be emblazoned

with underlining of Red

A Black Exclamation Mark

with The Point

a star

of glitter

against a dripping Swamp Green

from paint

in M(EYE) Basement

EYE HAVE A LIMITLESS MIND

The Hawk Kitchen: 9:59am

If Trump doesn’t make it

that won’t stop Me

EYE have a limitless Mind

& I will row

to M(EYE) Destiny

THE NEW COOPER STUDENTS*

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 10:44am

This morning before work

My Husband Dr W. Hunter Blair

read an article in The Guardian

w/pic re: New York College Moves To Strip Gender Markings From All Bathrooms

Cooper Union students ripping

the Male/Female signs off

all the bathrooms

in deference to trans-gender students —

now where will the real

men and women go?

HALO EFFECT

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 4:25pm

What happened to that

strident parader

with Her Raucous Laughter

& clapping hands

posing artiface

in Her Husband’s Face

calling up a game of chance

a guessing game

neither wanted to play?

What happened to Her High Blood Pressure

measured every half hour

four hours straight

to be knocked down

the next day spent

in Her Grey Bathrobe?

HERE’S THE DREAM —

The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:40pm

Rudy Link’s Head was cushioned

on My Stomach

as I lay on  My Side

of Dr Blair’s Bed

 I was attending to

Rudy’s Hair & Face

the way

I tend to Hunter’s
