High and mighty

A cupola above the walk attracted our attention, but once Andrew and I got a fair glimpse from this Victorian house, we were sold: amazing neighborhood, amazing stories, amazing views of the Hudson as well. Thanks to our new friend Jennifer, we got a grand tour of a gorgeous period home and show scenes from the perch. Photos and commentary at blog.amynelsonhahn.info

Hudson walk

Can you see their leeward
side from here, my soul? Can you see
their colors?
The ice is coming fast
and mist is thick
as a new dollar,
just not so bright.
If faith could walk
the ten thousand thousand
steps I've laid
between supper and this perch oh soul
he would know the berth of sleep
will never come until I've set
my careful eyes
on that stray boat.
