SONG FOR LUCY
By Donald Hall
She nursed so well, I loved
being sick. Freud said
A man thrives his whole life
if he received as a child
“his mother‘s entire devotion.”
#poemsbeforephones
Starting a new book of poetry by a former poet laureate of the United States. He wrote this book to and for his wife who died from leukemia. Moving, sad, yet a beautiful tribute to love. #closetoyou #anglophileapril
