My Master Plan is to be The Star
Super like no other
so that all I touch will turn to Silver
& all I own to Gold
I will dress My Self as I do now
with careful thought & pride
& live upon My Cans of Soup
My Flame Flung Far & Wide

Silver makes All The Difference —
It holds Reflected Light — You Can See
Your Self in Its gleaming surface
like The Moon
unrubbed It is neglected
stood upon It is sacred
–
Gold holds no such properties —
merely an internal glow
raging like The Sun
coveted by Men
–
We Are In The Silver Era
The Hawk Library 5:22pm
Here is A Painting
I have followed all My Life
first at The Valley Cottage House
over the white mantle
then moved to a dark wall
of The Shakespeare House kitchen
Now, in Its mature glory
hung in Hunter’s New Library
where I can sit in Our Wing Chair
across from The Subtle Watercolour
of The Moon as unpainted paper —
Its reflection’s sparkle unpainted
and Its Luminosity
spread from inky cloud
to Hudson River Water Scape
with a 3-planked, 4-posted dock
bathed in silver
