I can see The Curve
of Our Earth
carried over The Eastern Horizon
by My Layer of Cloud Bank
not parallel
but dipping
@ either end
Eye have risen from The Vision
of standing on a big wide beach
around here somewhere
with no one there but Me
and as I stood at the edge of no waves
I felt that I was The Contaminant
and Eye called out, and out
to My Daughter Eliza
The Hawk Window Seat 8:38am
Waking, briefly
seeing Liquid Blue
(Your typical sky blue)
crinkling all around, puddled —
next, a field of Blue Plastic
chips, shards, spread out
scattered
and This Morning, This Great Morning
(EYE) woke to see a flash:
Crystal Blue Droplets — A Myriad
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 9:50am
EYE see a shadow
from a neighbour’s barn
with a patch of light
reflected from the picture window
of My Upper Storey —
Yeah, so what
You might say —
but to Me
The Vision
says It All
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
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:46pm
You can feel anything
even a rainbow
no matter how faint
because You are Human
You can see The Colours
and appreciate Them
You can feel The Colours saturating Your Blood
and tingling The Soles of Your Feet
as You stand at Your Dining Room Window
The Hawk Kitchen 10:15am
I stood like Lolita
in one gym sock
at the head of the stairs
while WHB informed Me
the eye doctor
found nothing wrong
& that I just have to live
with seeing My Aura
which is My Halo
The Hawk Queen Bed 9:00pm
Today I saw
My Silver Aura
skidding across the back
of The Shower stall
I had a talk
with A Doctor Of Optometry
Who stated It
was probably related
to migraine
but I’m to have
A Visual Field Test
& A Field Day
It will be
Highway 103, NS NOON
Before Bed
I take a selection
of pills
— ten to be exact —
some for My Body
some for My Mind
They restore My Sleep
but rob Me of My Dreams
and so now I have an aura
accompanying My Vision
when I exit
The Shower
in Day Light
The Hawk West Desk Window 2:25pm
My Ultra-vision is Silver
even in a sudden black-out
on a Saturday Afternoon
with dinner guests scheduled to arrive
@ 6:00
I have polished the salt shaker
but not the candelabra
I have set the table
with My Mother’s Silverware
— The Dish, Chicken Polenta, is prepared —
— just has to bake —
when & if My Electric Oven
turns on
