RETIREMENT

by Joanna Gilman Hyde

The Hawk West Desk Window 8:38pm

Fall is finished for Me now

as soon as I saw

Its leaves along the grounds

of My Husband’s Office

–

No other flurry of fall

will strike Me the same

as This Summer’s Turning

Its brash array

scattered before The Edifice

of My Husband’s Career

Fifty Falls in the making
