SILVER BULLET

I will not be burned
at the stake I will be shot

The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:33pm
I will not be burned
at the stake I will be shot
in The Back again
The Hawk Dining Room 9:26am
The Ocean is a pale grey
beyond a fore drop of snow white
The Sun is My Luminous Disc
playing against the water
in streaks of golden silver
& clouds of darkened flakes
The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:33pm
I think back
to That Night of Black Magic
when I was dressed in beaded
dark grey lace
enthroned by the mink
of a dead mother-in-law
— silver heels decked
My Feet
rhinestones spiralled around My Neck
The Place was packed
when I tottered in
to drink only water
next I looked
The Place was cleared
but for My Party Of Six
My Truest Friends
out for fried fish & burgers
& cranberry puddng
until unforecasted snow
compelled Us to go
leaving no shoe
behind
The Hawk Kitchen 9:30am
Yesterday I put on a play
for My Husband —
I dressed in Eliza’s Black Satin Robe
& My World Trade Center Earrings
took My Wedding Rings Off
& declared to WHB
that He houses
The Most Dangerous Woman In The World —
then the gold and silver pin holding My Robe
exploded off Me
causing Me to change
into My Silver Grey
with Earrings of Dangling Gold
from Africa
& rhinestone bracelet:
a bauble of The Earth
The Hawk Dining Room 9:45am
I caught The Gleam
through My Dining Room
off The Silver Candelabra
The Snow is melting
& The Sun shines
diagonal rays downward
upon The Silver
Pool of Ocean
The Hawk Window Seat 1:41pm
I see My Silver Toes
all ten of Them
poking out of the fading
bubble bath
–
I wallow here
in My Greatness — yes
I am utterly self-absorbed
yet wish only the best
for women in tubs
everywhere
The Hawk Corner Room 8:15am
I see a vertical
Ray Of Hope
defusing now at the top
of bulbous clouds
and emanating downward
into pink diagonals
at The Edge
of My Silver Ocean
The Hawk Queen Bed 9:00pm
Today I saw
My Silver Aura
skidding across the back
of The Shower stall
I had a talk
with A Doctor Of Optometry
Who stated It
was probably related
to migraine
but I’m to have
A Visual Field Test
& A Field Day
It will be
The Hawk Dining Room 9:30am
The Silver Line
IS
The Horizon
with illuminated clouds
above
The Sea Is Grey
& I am ready
to put the coffee
on
