CONSTRAINT

by Joanna Gilman Hyde

The Hawk Kitchen 5:55pm

You Were There

behind the mirrors

when I opened the medicine cabinet

to get some Gravol & one Tecta

for Hunter’s stomach

You know He has a hiatal hernia

which is interfering with His oesophagus

but You Were There

My Bathroom Black Jesus —

am I helping You?

am I helping Hunter?
