”The fullness, given in other-being, given in self-being, is greeted with a gratitude, newly arriving out of refreshed astonishment.” Desmond, God and the Between, 43.

knee-high in the Bay looks out

The individual
of skinny Kierkegaard looks
out at the churches,
bottom-feeders all.
The grace of the egret’s lift-
off/SK’s sentence.
