The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:27pm
I have seen
The Golden Medallion
of The Sun
on The Underside
of an ice cream lid
as The Lid Of My Left Eye
twitched with Telepathic Love
& My Left Underside Of My Rib
pulsated, slowly, in Alert
November 20th, The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:45pm
My Husband says I am at My Descriptive Best
writing about what’s around Me
but tonight I need to write what’s inside
I am talking to My Inner Him
incubated as an alien but He is from Me
The Persona of My Own Making
in My Gut
He is The Me I am in love with
fixed within My Lover — I wrote Lover!
The Tomato-coloured Couch 6:22pm
I watched The Sun
born under a solid lip
of pink-streaked cloud
He arrived into This World
Radiant Red
while My Alien
squirmed inside
beneath My Lower Rib Cage
crying fiercely to Me
I AM ALIVE
The Hawk West Desk Window 3:32pm
I get My Messages
in The Shower
a bellhop knocks on the door
& slides The Envelopes under
They’re usually edged with Gold
— sometimes even Silver —
They’re Replies from
The Man Who Reads My Mind
— for confirmation purposes —
My Replies to Him
are laced within the fluidity
of My Daily Bath
The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:30pm
My Alien is flaring up —
I think He is the embodiment
of My Estranged Love
— I felt Him, hard
hard against My Mid-drift
while My Daughter
put acetone on Her Toe Nails
& wrapped Them in tin foil
calling Them Her Space Toes
I felt Him, soft
soft against My Face
when I looked at The New Moon
& Evening Star
The Tomato-coloured Cock 1:28pm
I have seen
The Symmetry
of The White Dragonfly
made up
of 2 White Trucks
nose-to-nose:
cabs for brains
beds for wings
spanning the mid-section
of Wilson’s parking lot
in Barrington Passage,
Nova Scotia
The Hawk Living Room 7:11pm
The World Needs
A Robust Love Story —
I Am Providing One
One With No Beginning
No End
One To Carry Us Through
Our Greatest Change —
The Human Realization
We Are Not
Alone
The Hawk Living Room 6:53pm
Aliens have infiltrated
The Medical Profession
I saw One today, twice
— or I should say He saw Me —
while visiting My X Father-in-Law
@ Roseway Hospital
in teeny-weeny Shelburne,
Nova Scotia
The Tomato-coloured Couch 12:50pm
For Halloween I saw
Two Aliens in The Steel-framed Mirror
in My Purple Bathroom —
This Pair communicates
with hand gestures
subtle signals
mental telepathy —
This has been going on
for Twenty Years
This Halloween The Masks
were pulled down
Sun Glasses pulled up
The Hawk Dining Room 9:57am
The Ocean Was A Band Of Silver
— I Saw It —
Then Pewter Against The Sky Of Cloud
— Now Silver —
In The Thinning Of The Sun
& I Have Had My Dream
Oh! My Dream
