The Hawk Living Room 12:50pm
When I see
My Portrait
in the glass of My Son’s shot
of The Ceiling Lights
in a Montreal subway station
I see The Rays coming
out of My Head
& I see M(EYE) X Miss Tree
in the shimmering distance
of The Tunnel
My 1992 art project titled Satellite Art For Extraterrestrials is originally described in the following raw footage video of 22 minutes. The project is hereby designated to commemorate the lives of fourteen young women who were gunned down on this date, December 6th, 1989, at Ecole Polytechnique, Montreal, Quebec — because they were women. With their families’ permission, I now plan to have commemorative markers to be designed and placed at fourteen specific geographic sites in Quebec and Labrador, Canada. Each marker will be placed in memory of what each woman was striving to achieve twenty-six years ago, and in honour of the strides all women continue to make for themselves and all of humanity:

The Dishwasher is running again
& My Son Peter is with Me
from Montreal via Alberta
He’s a Tree-planting Crew Boss
finished with work for The Summer
now readying for school
in The Fall
The Fog Should Be Gone By Then
I am Singing The Praises
of being Peak’s Mother
& have just opened The Dishwasher Door
as It went on The Dry Cycle
