PERFECT TIMING

by Joanna Gilman Hyde

The Hawk Kitchen 8:30am

When I see

The Magic

on My Kitchen Clock

I stand back —

EYE take It in —

those Numbers :  2:22

or 9:11

or M(EYE) Best Friend —

10:22

Those Numbers take Me back

& fill Me Whole

with the recall

of M(EYE) most famous

Moment

22 years ago:

10:22

The Moment with M(EYE) Lover

Who accepted Me

& what EYE said

unconditionally
