DESSERT

by Joanna Gilman Hyde

The Hawk Kitchen 7:14pm

I took Dr Blair

His Dessert

of frozen berries thawed

in the microwave

& two scoops of French Vanilla Ice Cream

I took It to Him

under the low light

in The Hawk Family Room

where He sat by The Computer

looking elegant

I was serving

A Very Important Man

Who can’t seem to retire

even though His Back

is killing Him
