The Hawk Corner Room 7:10pm
Listen to Your Heart
beating —
what is it telling You?
Trust Your Eyes
Your Vision
how is It guiding You?
Feel your Feelings —
They are What
You are made of —
They are Your Mind
The Hawk Window Seat 1:41pm
I see My Silver Toes
all ten of Them
poking out of the fading
bubble bath
–
I wallow here
in My Greatness — yes
I am utterly self-absorbed
yet wish only the best
for women in tubs
everywhere
The Hawk Corner Room 8:15am
I see a vertical
Ray Of Hope
defusing now at the top
of bulbous clouds
and emanating downward
into pink diagonals
at The Edge
of My Silver Ocean
The Hawk Outpost 8:06am
A New Day is upon Us
and A New Year
bespoken by the clouds
rippling above a line
of peach
telling Us We’re in
The Clear
The Tomato-coloured Couch 6:35pm
I have come a long way
since My Son
was born
27 years ago
& I have decided to make
My New Year’s Resolution
early:
NO MORE SIGNIFICANCE
TO SEQUENTIAL 2’s —
if I could stop drinking I can
stop anything —
and I WILL stop The World
when It’s Time
The Tomato-coloured Couch 3:00pm
I stood in a corner
beside The Photograph
of Dr Schweitzer holding Me
& chanted out for The World to witness
“I Stand For Silver”
“I Stand For Silver”
“I Stand — For Silver”
I chanted & chanted
until I could chant
no more
& became The Petulant Child —
now there lies
a cat
where My Feet were planted
The Tomato-coloured Couch 9:11pm
Q: God, what has made You
appear in this time We are in?
–
A: I have been here all along —
yet I have revealed My Self through
The Light Of Silver
apparent only in the Dawning
Of The Dark.
–
Q: Do You feel We are entering
a period of Darkness?
–
A: Yes, We are already here.
–
Q: How do You see Us getting out?
–
A: When All Of Humanity
comes to the realization
that It, Humanity, is
The Collective Mind
of God — We will have begun
Our Exit from The Dark
into The Celebration
Of The Dark,
The Unknown.
–
Q: Are We entering a period of
The Unknown?
–
A: Yes, there too We are already in It.
–
Q: Do We need to turn to alien intelligence
to cope?
–
A: Nope. We have what It takes.
We must simply measure Our Minds of today
with those of the past.
We must look back
in order to see
Our Future.
The Hawk Queen Bed 3:10pm
My Love is unknowable
even to Me
It resides, untouched
in the fathoms
of My Mind
to be probed, one day
by Its Object
of
Humanity
Tusket, NS 11:45am
When are We going to stop
hearing why Christmas should
or shouldn’t be —
or what it should or shouldn’t
be for?
Like an open van-load of toys
in a car dealer’s show room
to attract any child’s attention
with a sales woman’s pronouncement:
“It’s for the kids —
that’s what Christmas
should be for –“
Eliza’s Lavender Room 7:36pm
The Second Coming of Christ
has moved out of Her Husband’s Room
to afford greater access
to sleep without cats
— a temporary move —
but now to live
in the singularity of mind
DIVINE & HUMAN
as She programs Her Self
to open up The World
by saying “Good Night”
to Its mammoth past
