The Hawk Living Room 5:00pm
The Shower Of Silver Lights*
has found a home
bounced off
The Fuchsia Tumour
which has been rejected
( It deadened The Tomato-coloured Couch)
The Shower Of Silver Lights
will be stretched properly
& mounted on
a 2-storey wall
of Its own
*changed name to My Black Star
The Hawk Living Room 2:22pm
There Is No Room At The Inn
for The Shower
of Silver Lights
It/They will remain
in My Mind
colouring
My Every Action
with the onslaught
of garish vibrancy
un-accommodated
by My Cathedral Ceiling
from whence
It/They
came
The Hawk Deck 10:50am
Since March 31, 1993
I have been in a perpetual state
of Illumination
broken only by the depression
yet even then I retained the memory
of The Shower Of Silver Lights
which follow Me religiously
as I follow Them
to where I am Today
sitting in My Red Deck Chair
in the calm of early Autumn
under The Halo
of Our Existence
shining through a murky sky
The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:11pm
I wanna start A Cult —
not the kind where the leader
drives 14 Rolls Royces
or where the leader talks
500 people into drinking poisoned Kool-aid
I wanna be the kind of leader
I already am —
54 years in the making —
a slice of human growth
out of two wedges
of eternity —
Mine is The Cult
of Clear Thinking
’cause I will never say
there is no such thing
as Divinity
My Cult is not a clubhouse
My Cult lives for Humanity
as God, merely God
as I understand no separation
–
Move Over Allah & Christ —
a woman named Joanna Gilman Hyde
is on the scene
to speak Her Mind
Her Human Mind
which speaks for God —
Is Anyone Listening?
The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:25pm
To Dr David Hamilton Wilson
over the telephone from My Hospital Room
by His prescription:
“I have so many thoughts coming in —
even one for a new religion
based on The Joanna Hyde School of Thought:
Believe In Your Self FIRST
THEN Believe In God”
“Some People will accept
Your Ideas
Some People Won’t”
The Hawk West Desk Window 12:15pm
Two Jehovah’s Witnesses
knocked on My Side Door
while I was mopping upstairs
& tried to get Me
to believe in Satan
but I would have none of it:
“I give The Devil no credence”
They said, “So You believe Mankind is responsible
for all the bad things?”
I said, “In part, but I believe
in The Reconciliation of Opposites”
“What’s That?”
I told Them I wanted to get back
to My Cleaning
The Tomato-coloured Couch 6:53pm
I have The Music of Poetry
to guide Me
I have Black Jesus at My Side
I live by The Ocean
My Name is Joanna Gilman Hyde
I come out to greet You
Big Wide World
with My Art
My Concept of God as Humanity
Humanity as God
I Pray: Take Me In
I Pray: Embrace The Sky
Joanna Gilman Hyde
