THE HAWK PORTICO 6:36pm
by Joanna Gilman Hyde
I wrote A Book once
of 364 pages
describing The Illness & Death
of My Mother
& what happened to Me
after four days of no sleep —
sleep deprivation induced by Death:
The Shower of Lights
Seeing The Meaning of Life
Fixation Upon a Little Man
induced by The Telepathic Message:
“Joanna, the reason I am not answering Your Calls
is that I am at home, in the same condition
You are in — Yes We are reading Each Other’s Minds —
and no one knows what’s going on —
there is no expression for Love Divine
but this is as close as We can come…”
My last words to Him were:
“David, I am shredding My Manuscript —
all 5 copies, & The Shredder
is getting overheated —
It keeps quitting every 20 minutes
giving Me Pause For Thought”
–
Hint:
One Surviving Copy
may be somewhere
in The Vermont Farm House
of My Widowed Stepmother
Who assures Me
It’s Somewhere
