There’s a new bit of poetry in the little stage set outside of 4059 Latona Ave, and it struck our fancy.

A bee thumps against the dusy window,

falls to the sill,

climbs back up, buzzing;

falls again;

and does this over and over.

If only he would climb higher!

the top half of the window is

open.

Bunch Grass by Robert Sund

Despite the fact that it reads very much like prose with extra line breaks, we appreciate the simple scene, simply painted. Stop by and check it out, yourself!

And while we’re on the topic of poetry, here’s what Open Books on 45th is sporting in their window these days:

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.
