CROWD-PLEASING CHANT

The Hawk Queen Bed 10:22pm

WHO IS GOD?

We Are God

WHAT IS GOD?

We Are God

WHERE IS GOD?

Here Is God

WHERE?

Here!

WHERE?

Here!!

WHERE?!

I HAVE A MESSAGE

The Hawk Family Room 4:52pm

I Have A Message

fuelled by One Blonde Beer

sitting in A Brown Leather Swivel Chair

looking South Out A Double Window —

My Husband lists the unavailability

of Silver

by domestic bullion dealers

My Message Is:  Gather Your Wits

buy what You can of Grain

& Gold

& hold onto Your Children, Your House

Your Guiding Beliefs

let not the government

break down Your Door

for shrinksarentcheap

The Hawk West Desk Window 12:13pm

I saw An Angel Once

— while My Mother lay dying —

She Flew from Left to Right

amidst The Bows of A Lofty Pine

I told My Mother Where To Look

for Belly, Arms, Sleeves

She turned Her Head, My Mother did

so She Never Leaves

RECIPE FOR GOD

The Yarmouth Psychiatric Unit, Yarmouth NS

about ten years ago

Take One Firm Believer

Who Thinks She’s It

Throw In A Dose Or Two Of Scepticism

Stir It All Up

Heap On A Prayer

Cook On High

Until Ready To Serve

LAST CEREMONY

The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:10pm

Not even charging black dogs

could hold Me back

from The Offered Rose braced

against the sea shore stones

to let Me throw out

into the foaming tide

the detritus of My Mother’s Death

THERE

The Tomato-coloured Couch 6:47pm

I was That 37 Year-old

with The New Haircut

back from Pass

— why was I even in There?

Because I thought

I was The Second Coming of Christ

wearing A Sign on My Blouse

“Waiting To Be Believed”

with A Helium Balloon tied

to My Very Thin Wrist

being told by Nurses

to take off My “inappropriate” Sign

& My Balloon

so They would agree

to talk to Me

Healing Touch

The Hawk Kitchen 5:13pm

When A Mother

purses Her Lips

like a heart

& kisses Her Child’s

boo boo

She makes everything better

When People hug

Each Other

They impart Their Mighty Particle

of Love

When I hug My Big Black Cat

Astro

I feel My Love

zooming

into

Him
