MORNING SILVER 3

The Hawk Dining Room 10:11am

Oh My God

The Silver On The Ocean

Is Divine

The Sun Spreads Through The Clouds

& Hits The Water’s Sway

Pulling Me

To The Day I Was Hit

With My Glorious Silver Heights

MORNING APPROACH

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:59am

Silver on The Water

Silver in The Sky

The Thermometer is low

The End is (nearly*) Nigh

I am wide awake

The Coffee Pot is on

I have My House full of guests

ungrateful for The Dawn

*redundancy

RISE

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:40am

My Sea is made

of molten Gold

& I am living

to behold

The Greatest Treasure

known to man:

The Rise In Silver

by God’s Command

NIGHT LIGHT

The Hawk Queen Bed 9:11pm

The Colour of Moonlight

fell on My Head

The Colour of Moonlight

made sure I was dead

inside My Mind

My Faith It was changed

to see My Self First

My Plans were arranged

to live out My Life

attached to One Sprite

That Light has stayed with Me

even @ Night

POT O’ SILVER

The Hawk Dining Room 8:17pm

Tonight I see

a rainbow

complete

over The Atlantic Ocean

& Tonight I question

the wonder of My Halo

seen again Today

for forty minutes

of intensity, distraction

& sacredness

of Human Vision

MILK BATH IN THE SHOWER

The Hawk Deck 1:52pm

I stood bent in My Shower

& the milky foam

breathed across My Chest

& poured in streams

from My Two Breasts

like The Mother Wolf

in My Parents’ Nest

THE FORETELLING

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 3:45pm

The Extraction of Silver

from My Mind

which is My Body

will be The Explosion

We have been waiting for

while I sleep

in My Unsettled Bed

waiting for The Shower

of Silver Lights

to be

manifest

SILVER DITTY

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:27am

Silver streaks the water and sky

I have dreamt of a lullaby

The Sun is like a pearl of cloud

caught enmeshed in the ocean’s shroud

All I want is within My Reach

a home on the shores

of a magnificent beach

Content am I to be here with My Love

of pets, of place, of men above

I am not alone, I am free to say

whatever Truth may come today

Yes, The Silver Streaks are My Guide

I will shoulder Their Eminence

for The Song of My Life

NAME IT

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 2:22pm

When I was 23

I saw My Name In Lights

— Red Ones —

@ The World Trade Center

I see It now

— In Silver —

as Those Silver Spears

have forked Me
