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.”
