MY KIND OF LOVE
by Joanna Gilman Hyde
The Hawk Corner Room 11:45am
Love which can be pulled back
is My Grandest Weapon
how It arms Me
in The Dark
as It has for almost half My Life
It levers Me into The Remainder
for I will keep this Love hidden
and use It only if I have to
like The Crow Bar under My Bed

PRETENDER
The love we control
Is a million miles from
Worthy of the name
I think this is a good poem and it felt GREAT to write.
Nothing wrong with it
Not only that; a seedbed
for new growth. No blame.

Thanks, Ben, and your first comment is probably true (but I’m not tellin’).
No need, my dear, Worked it out by “myself”. 🙂 Meanwhile … are you able/willing to set an hour and a quarter aside to view this? I’d love to hear your reaction/response after you’ve seen it and you have my e-mail address.
“God Detector” part of the brain, questioned by Dennis McKenna, was the most poignant part of the documentary for me. I appreciated watching it, and thank you again for sending it to me.
I related it to your poem, and vice versa. I am glad you found it worth watching.
“and use It only if I have to
like The Crow Bar under My Bed”.
I hope one day you get to use your love.
This comment REALLY MEANS A LOT TO ME.
Hehe – so glad 🙂
