The Hawk Queen Bed 8:53pm
My Husband threw a splash
of diamonds upon
My Upright Hand
& yesterday My Birthright
Honour found Its way
across My Clasp
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:49am
The Sky to The East
is molten Silver
& to The West
as I wake
Sun lays Itself
across The Undulating Cape
illuminating
My Day After
The Acquisition
of My Silver Halo
Ring
The Hawk Queen Bed 9:57pm
I live a life
of comparative luxury
with My Weight
on My Left Hip
& My Right Ankle relaxed
while I peel off
My Mother’s Silver Bangles
ancient ring of gold & amethyst
I’m not rich — yet —
but I expect to be
in This Lifetime
in the meantime
I eat frugally
& engage in a very limited
society of friends
The Hawk Deck 9:04am
Jimbo — the only thing that saved You
from Me
was Your homely visage —
the only thing that saved Me from You
was Your saying “Sleep
is going to be an issue
for the rest of Your life”
Well Here I Am
out on My Deck
in The Sun
with A Giant Quartz Crystal Ring
on My Right Middle Finger
sparkling across This Page
as I write with A Silver & Ebony Pen
from Birk’s
I AM GOD
