Afternoon Catch-up

by Joanna Gilman Hyde

The Hawk Deck 4:30pm

The Clouds look painted on

— not fake — just oily & slim

(if I knew brush sizes I could tell You)

across from The West heavier & streaked

to The East knotty & piled

The Sun is somewhere

coming around to the back of My House

for setting later

maybe I’ll get My Beer
