”When Heraclitus said nature loves to hide (…B123), he was more comprehensively making the point that the sensuous showing of being we name nature has a side not completely shown in being shown.” Desmond, GODSENDS (Notre Dame 2021), 116.
It’s definitely
Winter. I need the thick socks
from last year, the lip
balm, hats with ear muffs.
I’ll look absurd on my walks
but who will notice?
The first good snowfall
will transform appearances,
refreshing the blank.
