BLACK NUMBER

The Hawk Window Seat 11:33am

I’ve Stepped My Left Leg

Into My Black Underpants

Topped Off

By My Black Lace Bra

I Am Dressed

For Mourning

The Cry Of Help

Which I Have Heard

And To Which I Will

Devote The Rest Of My Life

LIGHT HOUSE KEEPING

The Hawk Deck 3:11pm

Mrs Blair stepped out

the door to Her Portico

dressed in Her Warm Silver Negligee

at three o’clock in the afternoon

to complete Her Task

of Light House Keeping

by patting out Her Purple Dust Glove

just as A White Pick-up Truck

drove into view

POWER 2

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:17pm

I Am Writing

With My Black & Silver Pen

In A New Book

Of Black, Power

Black

Like The Hurricane

Approaching Tonight

From The Eastern Seaboard

Of The United States

I Sit In My Wrought Iron Chair

& See Only Fog

No 150 km/hr Gusts Yet

Spiralling Into Our House

But I Am Nervous:

Where Is Self Organizing Galaxy?

On The Minds

Of Thousands —

Soon To Be Millions?

CLEANING FLUID

The Hawk TV Room 12:05pm

I Sprayed An Arm

Of The Galaxy

Across A Glass Table

Nobody Saw It

But Me

TRIANGLE

The Tomato-coloured Couch 3:30pm

torn between standing poised

sitting cross-legged on the floor

or reclining

I hover in a triangle

of sun

PATIENCE

The Hawk Basement 12:55pm

I have seen The Face

of Patience

pitted against & between

two V.I.P.’s

as I was when I was twenty-three —

then the men were heads

of The World Trade Center

the three schools of Cooper Union —

thirty years later the men

are two country doctors

with so much more

than initials

— They Have Me —

next to Their Names
