My House is calling
Me from room to room
Tonight I will sleep
in Its Corner
with The Peepers
and The Waves
@ My Head
and Eliza’s Horse Blanket
on top
Eye went to sleep
with the sound of peepers
and when I woke
the morning’s keepers
sweetly tweeted through
the fog —
For All Existance
Eye Thanked God
The Hawk Well 4:45pm
Royal Red followed Me
through My Sleep
from Whitehorse
to the bottom of My Deepest Well
— through a blackout
@ 2:00 am
which had Me in My PJs
in The Morning Light
looking down
and down
with a bucket
on The Longest Rope
in The World
tipped with bricks
unsuccessfully
until EYE used My Mother’s Method:
drop The Bucket
upside down
straight
and haul up
The Entire Line
of Humanity
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:28am
The Sun Is Following Me —
EYE used to see It rise
@ 5:00 o’clock in the morning
when I first escaped from Olanzapine
when I heard The Rooster @ 6:00
and The Cow Bird kept Me company —
now I have The Sun again
after three full nights in a row
of sleep —
I got up after 7:00
and there It was
out My Kitchen Window
lining the clouds on the horizon
with Its pearly gold
of enchantment
and after I looked @ My Watch
That Old Familiar Spark Appeared
and grew into My Friend
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 9:30pm
I lay My Knitting aside
to go upstairs
to take My Pills
in order that I sleep
for The Rest
of My L(EYE)FE
May 19, 2015 The Hawk Queen Bed 10:06pm
Sometimes The Wind and Tide
combine to augment
The Sound as It is delivered
of The Waves accompanied
by Peepers, heightened by Peepers
to calm The Way
to Sleep
*only truth pertaining to Me uttered by the psychiatrist I had for eight years
The Hawk Kitchen 8:07am
The Vibrancy of Silver
is awash across the water
filling My Kitchen
with bright rays of light
I wait for the coffee to steep
to write of My Days
here in the quiet
of My Sufficient Sleep
The Tomato-coloured Couch 3:32pm
Last Night I Had A Dream
I was married
to Dr Blair
I felt safe
in the security
of Our Marital Bed
I felt His Warm Right Hand
on My Left
& then I went to sleep
