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

FEROCITY

The Hawk Queen Bed 10:06am

Oh how I want to knead

a double weave of lavender

& green —

I want so badly

to meld a shield

of diamond coloured star

in My Center

Oh how I want to paint

the emblematic Silver

of My Center

My Big Black X

so I could make a pair

to My Black Star

SILVER SPOUT

The Hawk En-suite Bath 9:51am

I see A Fragment

of Our Universe

emblazoned on the sink faucet

It has arrived

by spit

spraying tooth paste splatter

washed together

with the fluid

of many microbes

SUPPER SILVER

The Hawk Hallway 6:50pm

Silver Glows

Upon The Westward Sea

The High Wires

Glitter In The Sun

Still High

While My Fish

Melts Under The Broiler

KILLER FORCE

The Hawk Kitchen 5:47pm

A Silver Fish on the corner

of My Husband’s writing desk

just went SPLAT

when I slapped My Left Palm

upon Him, He Who was just sitting there

like a spy —

I killed A Bug

to save My Life

and The Sanctity of My Home

OUTER BANK

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:00am

The Sea is NOT Silver

Today — can You believe it?

It is the colour of The Cloud —

laden sky — with the tapered end

of a fog bank to the East

rising up like an elongated

iceberg

in the middle

of My Glacial View

TO BE SEEN

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:35am

The Silver Band of Ocean

barred by black cloud

illuminates the feathered white

above all

presenting The Glory

of The Day

at hand

SILVER SHIFT

The Hawk Kitchen 7:53am

The Silver Glare

alerts My Eyes

& shifts to flashes

of White

safe in My Kitchen

with the coffee pot on

I care not

for the rest of The World —

Oh but I do!

SILVER SEGMENT

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 9:38am

The Ocean looks

like A Silver Bar

polished as if One

would polish

an old silver bar

regulated to The Sky
