WORK IN PROGRESS
“Here, given creation is not a part, but as apart, it is its own whole. It is not the absolute; it is a finite whole.” Desmond, God and the Between, 253.
Nice days are fewer
this summer. It’s true all o-
ver, but still, a break
in the heat causes
the heart to whine like a dog,
so we take a walk.
Light piles cloud on cloud
above the cove, silently
ducks patrol the cove,
the cove focuses
the attention. It’s why we
forget climate change.
Which is not to give
up on the world. The world tran-
scends us. We pass on.
