FORMATION

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 5:38pm

I am going to be taught to knit

A Shield Of Honour

carried out by A Big Black X

across the length X width

with a reflective grey diamond

in the center

& A Red Eye

glaring out

like A Serpent’s

Pupil

NAME IT

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 2:22pm

When I was 23

I saw My Name In Lights

— Red Ones —

@ The World Trade Center

I see It now

— In Silver —

as Those Silver Spears

have forked Me

INFANT HAIKU

June 18, 2015 The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:52pm

abandoned on shore

sandy pink sucky thing — dropped

detritus of youth

IT GOES:

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:00am

Outpost Window

Deck

Dewy Grass

Bamboo Hedge

Misty Scrub Spruce

Blinding Silver

Wispy Sky

After-image

in The Blink

of Florescent Green

RESCUE?

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 4:13pm

legions of mosquitoes

have swarmed into the broken webbing

of yesterday

catching themselves, in some cases

one upon the other

still alive

& how I wonder

can their scrambling efforts be

for each other?

WE NEED A WORLD WIDE 9/11

The Hawk Kitchen 3:40pm

Where will I go

with My Halo

solidified in the frantic spinning

of a wind-blown insect

dangling off a disheveled spider web —

to give forth

The “Wake Up”

Call?

FEROCITY

The Hawk Queen Bed 10:06am

Oh how I want to knead

a double weave of lavender

& green —

I want so badly

to meld a shield

of diamond coloured star

in My Center

Oh how I want to paint

the emblematic Silver

of My Center

My Big Black X

so I could make a pair

to My Black Star

“My Word!”

The Hawk Kitchen, sometime in the afternoon

I am under The Spell

of creation I have blown

the breath of Life

into the blankness

of everything

and I am The Creator

of what has

always

been

SILVER SPOUT

The Hawk En-suite Bath 9:51am

I see A Fragment

of Our Universe

emblazoned on the sink faucet

It has arrived

by spit

spraying tooth paste splatter

washed together

with the fluid

of many microbes

ON-HIGH

The Hawk Kitchen 5:15pm

I have My Purple Toes

in My Silver Sandals

I can look down

on Them & pretend

I am in The Sky

or perched in a tree

Living The Life

of an On-high

Observer
