THE CHICKADEE CALLS

The Hawk Deck 10:22am

It’s A Fine Time For Me

to write of The Religion For One

out here on My Pristine Deck

in The August Morning Sun —

What Can I Tell Of My View

Of The Self?

The Birds How They Cry

for broken hearts

& bombed civilians —

but wait —

NO ONE SHOULD GET BOMBED:

Ours Is An Earth

of exquisite beauty

& must not be marred

by hatred & distrust  —

I Am Here To Settle Out

the chaos

To Re-organize

The Individual Mind

To See Out Its Full Potential

& Have It Believe

in Life

MICHAELA & CHARLOTTE

The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:02pm

Two Little Girls, My Nieces

have added more Stars

to My House

tracking up My Stairs

from The Beach

for Me to sweep up

& turn Them into

My Galactic Palm

OUT OF THE SHOWER

The Hawk West Desk Window 12:17pm

I Have Seen The Universe

Swirled In The Accidental Toe Print

Of Our White Cloth Bath Mat

In Eliza’s Shower

& When I Stepped Upon It

I Unintentionally Drew Out The Pin Wheel Form

To Leave

A Mere Trace

Of Our Grandest

Design

I’ve Seen Another Galaxy

The Tomato-coloured Couch 8:22pm

I’ve seen another Galaxy

end-on in the crumb-laden

line of frosting off a piece

of Carrot Cake —

contained in a clear plastic box

I held

with My Barbie-Band-Aided fingers

from when I sliced My Left Index

& where Astro scratched

My Pinkie

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

DIFFUSION

The Hawk Deck 3:00pm

I Have Seen The Perfect

Nautilus

Within My Universal Vision

— the sink It was —

Showing Me The Perfect

Form Of Reproduction

& Through My Chaos

of hand-washing

I Diffused The Spiral

Only To Let It

Re-set

in ever-smaller

smatterings

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

THE MILKY WAY

The Hawk Portico 5:00pm

I Am A Galactic Citizen

spelled out on the bronze flyleaf

of My Diary — housed

within the confines

of outer and inner space

where nothing happens

with-which We are aware

except by Way

Of Human Ejaculation

TRANSFIGURATION 2

The Hawk Out Post 12:51pm

The Blue Jay

bore out of the bush

to a rock in My Far Yard

 then to The Scraggly Apple

— I kept My Eye on Him —

— feeling My Blood —

& He Came to

Me

He Came
