The Halo Book
My Voice rang out
beyond the Drive-thru microphone
“One Large Decaf, Double Cream —
That’s It –“
&
My Signature lies crumpled
on a Wilson’s exchange slip*
dropped in a concrete encasement
for an air conditioning vent
*retrieved April 7, 2015 complete with bug
The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:07pm
Against a background
of Darkness
We see The Particles of Space
coalesce
spiralling together
uniting two illuminated Human Beings
against a World
of Chaos
The Hawk Corner Room 5:14pm
Today The Ocean
went from Blue
to Grey
& I sat above It
to contemplate
My Self —
& do You know what
I discovered?
That with My Husband
reading War & Peace
beside Me
I can say anything
in The World
& be heard
The Hawk Kitchen 12:12pm
I am The Little
Second Coming of Christ
wearing My Galaxy Underpants
cleaning cat hairs off
The Tomato-coloured Couch
I Am Here & Everywhere
re-defining God, Jesus
& The World
half-dressed
The Hawk Outpost 9:05am
Bathed in Silver
in perpetuity
The Sun is warm
& no longer Golden
I stand —
one knee up —
at My Kitchen Outpost
to absorb
the light
off The Ocean
of My Existence
The Hawk Queen Bed 8:45am
Last Night I slept
with the window opened a crack
to let in a nip of Spring
This Morning
and the first song
of birds
The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:00pm
My Back Was To Him
His Fingers Cut A Loose Thread
Dangling From My Hem
The Tomato-coloured Couch 2:22pm
Shower Me
with
Silver
&
I will tell You
All My Secrets
I can answer
any Question
I can see
with X-ray Vision
You Will Know Me
for All I Am
You Will Know
that I Am
Everything
&
You will want Me
