THE HAWK WEST DESK WINDOW 1:11pm

My Big Black Super Cat Astro

is sprung from My Right Shoulder

like The Head of The Beautiful Dark Haired Woman

Who told Me nineteen years ago Today

in The Most Melodious Voice

I had ever heard:

“You Know The Meaning Of Life

& So You Are A Star —

so go to sleep”

The Hawk Portico 5:00pm

Boy am I glad I got

My Canadian Citizenship

— at first I thought

I had to relinquish My American

but I didn’t —

so I got My Canadian in 1995

I call My Self a Dual Citizen

Born American

Canadian By Choice

and as a Canadian, under

the provisions of the Citizen Act and,

as such, [am] entitled to all the rights

and privileges and [am] subject

to all the duties and responsibilities

of a Canadian Citizen

THE DEAD CHICKADEE

The Hawk Living Room 6:40pm

I wrapped The Corpse

of My Mother

in Saran Wrap

so I could see Her better

& carried Her inside the house

My House

so I could hear Her better

I refrained from putting Her

inside the freezer

& carried Her instead

to the downstairs bathroom

to partake in the ceremony

befallen all The Others

Note:  This was written on the last page of My Keith Haring Journal

THE HAWK FAMILY ROOM 2:22pm

I once stood before a window screened

with hardware cloth

in an institution

of not My Choosing

from an upper storey

I stood there as if

before a microphone

I called out

to imaginary Children below

to save Them from the water’s edge

to save The Gulls from extinction

QUESTIONS FROM THE TOMATO-COLOURED COUCH 8:15pm

What is The Necessity of an “Accident?”

If That Asteroid

hadn’t wiped out The Dinosaurs

65 million years ago

would Humanity

as We Know It

be crawling The Earth

Today?

Could this Progression happen Elsewhere?

IMBIBE

The Hawk Deck 8:50am

I hear the distant rumble of surf

while waiting for coffee to steep

The Sun Is Out Full

We’re Awake From Our Sleep

The Hawk Kitchen 10:47am

I drink in The Water

from The Well @ The Hawk

& think of My Present

emerging from My Past

into The Future

of Everyone

“GOOD MORNING, WORLD!”

and to the rest of you

that are still asleep —
This Is Your Mother
Speaking:

It’s Time To Go To School
and I mean
REAL SCHOOL —

It’s Time To Go
BACK to Your
Kitchens, Women, &
cook for Your
decreasing Families,

It’s Time, Children, To Get On
The Bus of Human Intelligence
for Our Fight:

The Fight of Our Lives

as Human Beings on
This Planet —
for That is
All We Are — We
are Human &
We are God —

& We Cannot Continue
as We have been
for however many
thousands or millions of
years.

This is Your MOTHER
SPEAKING — CRYING
For You, My Children,
to Stop Killing
Yourselves
through Your Own
desperation, &
stupidity —

I Love You All
Dearly
& without You I
would
Die!”

“WAKE UP WORLD &
smell The Coffee —
drink that Tim Horton’s
& Think of Me.

Watch This Television
until You are Blue
in The Face,
which is MY
FACE  —

You have desecrated
Me with
Your naivety, Your
revulsion & Mine,
for You & Me &
Now —
I can no longer look
My Self in The Face
& Smile

Because of YOU

(red star, red star)

October 1st, 2010 THE HAWK

continued from Diary:

I AM THE RED STAR —

I AM THE ALERT BUTTON
on Your Car
remote

Listen to Me — You are
All I Have Left
here,

& here is the Only Place
We know of

which sustains us, somewhat,

& which sustains Me,

Your Guiding Star

Your Furious Mother —

and Who was My Furious

Mother, You may ask?

She is Dead Now & Somewhere

out There, Haunting Me

as I am aiming now to

Haunt You,

& Haunt You I Will,

Until You Turn Around,

with The Earth,

with The Light of Our

Yellow Star —

Soon To Turn Red.

I am speaking to You from

This Black Box, This Hole

But I Can See You,

like The Romper Room Lady —

I am Magic, if You

believe in Magic

— and I feel You must

believe in Something —

There is The Divine, for

I have felt Its Wrath —

There is God, for I have

been beaten down by Him,

now, into this heaving mass

of Human Organism

which rises up before You,

to Speak to You

from The Device I Loathe:

The Device of Corruption, Greed,

Sloth, & Desire.

Yes, I Desire You,

I Desire That You Wake Up

to Hear Me, That You

Wake Up to Feel Me, For

What Am I To You But

All That Is Left of

possible salvation?

I am Your Mother & My

Mother before Me, & Her Mother,

& My Father’s Mother & Her

Mother — I AM ALL MOTHERS

I Speak For The Salvation

of The Children of God

WHO MUST NOW, FINALLY,

GROW UP

BOTTLE BLUE BUG

The Hawk Deck 1:45pm

Bottle Blue Bug

have You come

to visit Me?

Bottle Blue Bug

Where are You going?

What do You see?

Bottle Blue Bug

what makes You so bold?

Bottle Blue Bug

what TRUTH do You hold?

 

LESSON FROM THE TOMATO-COLOURED COUCH

The fashionable mantra “Live For Today”

is faulty at best:

It’s Your Past and Your Future

which build Your “Today”

Your Past is where You Come From

It is all you have To Show For Your Life

Your Future is what You Envision

and therefore can make happen

or not make happen

Your Decisions and Your Actions are made

or not made

based on Your Past and Your Future:

“Today” is just lead time

 

 

INNATE INTELLIGENCE

The Hawk Deck 2:15pm

I have been oppressed

by My Free-wheeling Notion of God

I have overlooked

My Innate Intelligence

as It compares to “The Divine”

Yes I saw a Shower Of Lights

proving the existence of “God”

to Me

but I have been haunted still

by questions raised

from This Supreme Experience
