FLIRTATION

by Joanna Gilman Hyde

July 22nd 2012 THE HAWK DECK 10:46am

I slurped the last

of a juice pack

& thought of how I didn’t eat

years ago when I weighed

111 lbs

& what did I drink?

July 23rd 2012 THE HAWK BEDROOM 9:04am

Today I Rise

to The Edge of Depression

sitting in The Bed

of My Pea Soup Hospital Room

with The Window Wide Open

to let in Bird Calls

of Wellness
