The Hawk Queen Bed 9:00am
I sit inside a purple room
the chamber of a heart
when I close My Eyes
I see iridescent purple
& decide Whose Heart
I’m in
The Hawk Living Room 12:15 pm
I have had an undulating vision —
a purple cave-like opening
dressed in Golden Fray
–
This moving Mountain-like form
contained not the thought
of The Little Man
but His Essence
–
It pulsated at Me
slowly
pushing from behind My Eyes
& returned Him
to Me
My Daughter’s Room is Lavender
“Purple” She calls It
& doesn’t like It
The Carpet is white
with old crayon
from previous kids
She bought new sheets today
Purple
& a White Comforter
She said would make
Her hate The Room less
She bought a White Orchid
with Purple in The Centre
& flowers for a heavy glass vase
& here I sit by Her Shaded Window
listening to The Waves
