WORK IN PROGRESS
“The existence of things outside God … about which he cares … is best explained by …the notion that God himself is characterized by…ecstatic love…” Catherine Osborne, EROS UNVEILED (OUP, 1994) commenting on Divine Names.
A wet tongue nibbling
my boot laces among chips
and tissues. “Hello,
my little man! In-
troduce me to your mistress!”
Our first winter storm.
Ecstatically
Eros makes the rounds. Her head
buried in the news.
