Out the Window: June 23, 2019*

How amusing, a hummingbird
resplendent in tan and gray
pivots at the feeder, and

Gone

Toward the old Wharton place –
a few miles away.

*Donald Hall, Sept. 20. 1928 – June 23, 2018

“I wish I could come down your way … to look over the old (Edith) Wharton place.”
– Letter from Donald Hall (Dec. 27, 2014).
