PESTILENCE

by Joanna Gilman Hyde

The Hawk Queen Bed 12:40pm

I am The Black Crow Lady

right fist clutching at My Heart

No More Supper For My Family

No Care As To Where The Food Comes From

Or Who Makes It

No More Ears For The Radio

only rain & sleet can calm Me now

No More quiet “Good Night”

I am about to yell out

a song so wild

You will wish Your Tinnitus

could consume You
