The Hawk Queen Bed 10:15pm
Together We watched a purple sky
as evening fell
upon Our Christmas Dinner —
on Our way back
from Barrington
to pick up an ice pack
for Her trip south
We watched, together
the cradle of The Moon
falling into
a blackened sea
The Hawk Queen Bed 8:20am
The Sky was beautiful
too intricately beautiful
to write about —
all I could do was look
at the heavy blue clouds
with faded mauve accents
and come upstairs
with Our Coffee
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
The Hawk Corner Room 9:30am
The Wash Of Cloud
Radiates My Silver
Along The Ocean Strip
It Moves Across
My Window View
Urging Me My Grip
The Tomato-coloured Couch 9:11pm
Q: God, what has made You
appear in this time We are in?
–
A: I have been here all along —
yet I have revealed My Self through
The Light Of Silver
apparent only in the Dawning
Of The Dark.
–
Q: Do You feel We are entering
a period of Darkness?
–
A: Yes, We are already here.
–
Q: How do You see Us getting out?
–
A: When All Of Humanity
comes to the realization
that It, Humanity, is
The Collective Mind
of God — We will have begun
Our Exit from The Dark
into The Celebration
Of The Dark,
The Unknown.
–
Q: Are We entering a period of
The Unknown?
–
A: Yes, there too We are already in It.
–
Q: Do We need to turn to alien intelligence
to cope?
–
A: Nope. We have what It takes.
We must simply measure Our Minds of today
with those of the past.
We must look back
in order to see
Our Future.
The Hawk Queen Bed 10:22pm
from Collective Soul:
“Live & Let Your Light
Shine Down”
or is that
“Heaven, Let Your Light
Shine Down”
on My Daughter
headed
for
Miami?
The Hawk Queen Bed 3:10pm
My Love is unknowable
even to Me
It resides, untouched
in the fathoms
of My Mind
to be probed, one day
by Its Object
of
Humanity
Hawk Point Road 2:50pm
The Sun Shines
a variegated halo
over the southern tip
of Cape Sable Island
the land I live on
where I confide
in very few
& get My Groceries
on the notes of Joy Division
The Hawk Out Post 4:30pm
Eye walk to The Sky
held inside M(eye) Kitchen
Out Post
never am Eye lost
for answers seen within
layered clouds
of pinkish grey
& peaks of rooftops
gilded in the amber light
of M(eye) Earliest Evening
The Hawk Out Post 1:06pm
I stand with My Morning
Coffee
in The Afternoon — delayed
by a fluky power outage —
I’m still in My Pyjamas
but it doesn’t matter
when I get My Shower
I Am A Free Woman
in love with the strapping band
of Ocean before Me
& My Forever Sky Above
