She sat in the same house in Pennsylvania with Virginia columns were, 50 years before, he brought her on their snowy wedding night. A mockingbird on the fir tree out front whistles the same notes he tried years in vain to imitate. He lies out back beneath the wildflowers in the field he once plowed, victim of his own betrayal, in an unmarked grave.
