THE SPIDER WEB

After I finished painting

Self Organizing Galaxy

at The Former World Trade Center

I wanted to suspend

a full-scale Spider Web

between The Twin Towers

I made a mock up out of brass wire

and hung it on a WTC model in an office show room

but Former Director Guy F. Tozzoli

wouldn’t let Me —

He said He would have to be The Spider

I AM THAT WOMAN

The Hawk Bedroom 2:52pm

I Am That Woman

with My Weight on My Left Foot

My Left Hand

gracing My Belly

My Right Hand

contemplating

My Preparedness

BLACK JESUS

The Hawk West Desk Window 11:00pm

In The Beginning

when there was No Beginning

She wore The Disguise of White

with Little Red Sneakers

& A Red Bow in Her Hair

to lay out well-founded plans

for The Elliptical Spiral

to be seen from above

It was Black Jesus

who painted & stained

His way into Her Very Heart

& dressed Her in Black

with a see-through skirt

& Sash of Satin Red

in The End

when there was NO End

MY SKY

My Sky is trying It’s damnedest

to calm Me down from reading

Bloomberg’s endorsement of Obama

— citing climate change —

My Sky Clouds are Silver in The East

& carry One Magnificent Sunset

in The West —

I am eternally thankful for My Beautiful Sky

& nobody’s gonna mess with It —

GET IT?

THE HAWK STAIRCASE

I just swept up A Galaxy

off My Red Staircase

— maybe It was A Universe —

dusted into The Kitchen Trash

until My Next 15 Billion Years

THE RAINBOW POEM

The Hawk Deck 6:55pm

I looked for a rainbow today —

the conditions seemed ripe for one —

all I got to see

was a pink sky in The East

after supper

a grey sky & salmon clouds

I wondered if I

might be in one
