THE HAWK AFTERNOON

by Joanna Gilman Hyde

The Hawk Deck 3:00pm

What Is In My World?

My Devoted Husband, soon-to-be-retired

My Darling Daughter, still up in the air

as far as school goes

My Children’s Grandfather languishing

in the little local hospital

under the care of Dr David H. Wilson

and so the perpetual ocean waves

draw Me in
