STOLEN HEART
by Joanna Gilman Hyde
The Hawk Deck 12:43pm
I had a robbery
of My Family’s Happiness
sitting in a Jacuzzi
in Toronto
with Eliza running around
the edge —
I had a robbery
of My Love for My Husband
My Handsome Capable Carpenter —
The Father of My 2.4 Children
I had a robbery
of My Son’s Happy Childhood
when I told Him at age eleven
His Parents were separating
I had a robbery
of My First Marriage
by a skinny little doctor
who called Me a “seer”
on April Fool’s Day
the morning after
My Sacred Shower Of Silver Lights
which NOBODY
will ever
STEAL
