July 12 2012 THE HAWK DECK 8:50pm

by Joanna Gilman Hyde

Oh It was a shock alright —

twenty years after My Mother’s Brain Tumour

and have I recovered?

I think so, at least the waves

are telling Me so, and The Cats, Crows

Willets & Gulls.  The Sky tells Me so.

–

I hear a Willet now, over

the Southern End of The Hawk —

I am very happy Here

where nothing can get Me.
