“Perhaps the source of the aesthetic happening made it such, put us into the equivocal to free self-transcending that could only come alive in the chiaroscuro of the good.” G&B 140f
Ankle deep at low
tide, the egret holds the fort
surrounded by ducks.
A warm Autumn day.
I give all my attention
to what means nothing.
I am; others are.
Still, I’m distracted by how
soon it’s getting dark.
