THE HAWK FRONT DOOR 11:55am
by Joanna Gilman Hyde
There’s powder on My Face
My White Sweat Shirt
over My New Black
Push Up Bra
I put on Black Socks
old jeans that still fit
–
I’m off to shop for The Makings
of Stew
with My Cans still rattling
around
in My Black Escape
–
The Noon Radio News reports
“rising tide levels along coastal regions
& severe weather events
in the coming years.”
Of course you would expect me to snort at the “noon radio report”. My comment is really about how I like all your recent poems some of which are almost “stream of consciousness” writings. You raise my awareness of the world around me, its peace and tranquillity and its beauty which is far away from the screw up of the political and financial worlds.
Thank you so much for this, My WHB
All I can say is keep writing and letting your imagination and vision continue to expand.
