A DAY OF SIGNIFICANCE

The Hawk Kitchen 7:06pm

This 11th day of month 2:

Gold has achieved a three month rise

not met in thirty years

& I am celebrating

by taking My Spaghetti

out of The Oven

@ 10:22

SPECS

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 1:55pm

In M(EYE) Left Hand

I hold the Stars of The Future:

Silver Glitter from The Removal

of M(EYE) X-Miss Tree —

One Silver Orb off The Star from The Top

& One Piece of The Tree

Itself — organic & bulbous —

a planet perhaps?

VENTURE

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 2:50pm

EYE will put M(EYE) Self

on The Edge of Calamity

handing out M(EYE) cans of soup

gathering up M(EYE) Gold of Humanity

counting up M(EYE) Alien Silver

& nay praying

for Our Ultimate

Collapse

of Faith

HE COMETH

The Hawk Dining Room 9:44am

When I see The Silver

Light Light Light

on The Atlantic Shore

I know that I am

Safe Safe Safe

from early morning anxiety

involving letting Cats

in & out

Five Five Five

Times

OH THOSE DIAGONAL RAYS!

The Hawk Dining Room 9:30am

The Sky separates

Its Self

at My Horizon Line —

raining wisps of snow

along Its downward edge

— sun breaks through

of course —

to drench the sea

in My Usual

Silver

SINGULAR RAYS

The Hawk X Miss Tree 4:30pm

I am seeing The Breath

of The Universe

play on My Living Room Wall

enchanting Me

by the undulating placement

of light from The Sun

touching My Only Flat Silver Ball

cascading in slow motion

In & Out

THE SOUTHERN VIEW

The Hawk Window Seat 1:51pm

Today I am seeing

The Silver of The South

for M(EYE) First Time

through The Scrub Spruce

bounding

M(EYE) Water View

from a bedroom window

cushioning The Light House

with clouds

over-laying

a fine winter sun

AFTER IMAGE

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 9:55am

Today I have seen

the contemporary slash

of Silver on

My Horizon

& still,

when I blink

in the bathroom

before the washer & dryer

I see the customary

strip of Lime Green

ENTRANCED

The Hawk Beach 11:03am

EYE sat in that

Silver Sun

with The Beach spread

to My Back —

I’d turned an ankle

when looking up

to a flock of birds

gutting the wires

& taking off —

EYE followed Their Cloud

undulating

among the rocks

like a school

of Silver Fish

& when They passed

overhead

I straightened up

to watch

MERRY CHRISTMAS

X — Miss Morning, The Hawk Guzzle 11:57am

EYE have walked to the ends

of The Earth —

well Canada anyway —

& found not

a pot of gold but

that of Silver & Coal —

Coal Black like

My Onyx Pen —

My Black Jesus underwear

My Painting on My Basement Floor

& The Flock of Crows

accompanying Me

along The Beach

where there’s a rock

I was intending to sit on

but the sand has shifted

so now The Guzzle

surrounds My Seat

& I can only look

at Its barnacles to get

My Bearings

& return along the liquid silver

of the waves
