ALT Wader After Elizabeth Bishop It patrols the perimeter of sea-and-sand on sedge-stalk legs. A godwit, I think. No panic here, but calm authority. Always probing, probing. From my dune nest observation is almost painful. I sense the sharpness, the depth. But like a needle piercing a point on a troubled meridian, I feel the twinge of connection, then the release, and my world finds a new equilibrium. Alice Stainer
![No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise for the writer, no surprise for the reader. For me the initial delight is in the surprise of remembering something I didn't know I knew. I am in a place, in a situation, as if I had materialized from cloud or risen out of the ground. There is a glad recognition of the long lost and the rest follows. Step by step the wonder of unexpected supply keeps growing.
