THWARTED NAP
The Tomato-coloured Couch 2:22pm
I am The Sleep-deprived Princess
of My Own Regard
too tired to go to the store
for the makings of Beef Stroganoff
I will lounge on The Tomato-coloured Couch
in My Grey Sweats
& wait for Heaven
to call

The Hawk Corner Room 3:29pm
Eye have zipped up
that Night of Black Magic
two garments away
for never another evening
of seeing M(eye) Silver Halo
directing M(eye) Every Measure
of preparation
— Eye am de-throned now
baking a cake
that’s come out flat
& scratching DHW
off My January Page
The Hawk Corner Room 3:34pm
Let’s give up
this fairy tale business
I’m straight in the head
& will not fall into a trance
seeing You across a parking lot
I will not grab You in public
& try to kiss You
like The Princess
& The Frog
please let’s end this
lifetime of Love
hidden & declared
I have said enough
& You have withheld
Your Dream
The Hawk Corner Room 3:08pm
While I have exposed
My Love
to Anyone Who will listen
He has kept His hidden
from Everyone
but
Me

The Tomato-coloured Couch 12:55pm
You stood out in Sobey’s
Today
darkly dressed
pensive and lean
You had on rectangular
dark glasses
above Your narrow chin
standing in line
with The Rest Of Us
You became My Newest Member
of Joy Division
Dear DVD:
I got your message
while I was eating My Spaghetti:
There Is NO Fooling Around
I know this now & I feel
We have entered
a Completely New Phase
in This, Our
22nd Year

I Am Holding
A Cumbersome Star
It Is Making Me Hot
& Sweaty
It Is My Big Black Star
