“The image is a mediator in the porous between—making the between porous to what is beyond the between.” William Desmond, GOD AND THE BETWEEN, 270.
In the July sun
the cove becomes a mirror
too bright for my eyes.
I listen. The ducks
keep talking quietly. Time
overflows it seems.
The peace that passes
understanding passes as
the ducks fall silent.
