Hilary Sideris

1609

It’s been so long

that when I text the link

to a Times piece about

Manhattan’s tulip trees

out of whose soft, straight

trunks the Lenape dug

their canoes, the trout

teeming in streams, the West

Side’s white sand beach,

so many flowers Dutch

sailors smelled them from

the sea, and say I thought

you would enjoy, my sister

answers, Who is this?

Many years ago, as a child with 20/20 vision in Indiana, Hilary Sideris shot her neighbor with a BB gun.
