THE WEDDING GIFTS

by Joanna Gilman Hyde

The Hawk Deck 11:38am

I have one surviving

heavy ceramic casserole & lid

hand-thrown

which I use all the time

given to Peter & Me

by a pair of artists

— My Mother’s Friends —

it would have been Our 29th

yesterday

& one small set of wind chimes

given to Hunter & Me

by a fisherman I grew up with

& His Kindly Sweet Wife

— The Chimes moved this morning

on this 1st Day of June

as I had My Hawk Kitchen Outpost Window

open
