Surely Shorty @ Ultramarine Literary Review

 here 

This how things went in the Angel Dog Shorty's day. I dreamed there was a moose at the office. a baby just born. As soon as I heard we went to it and it was fine, licked us and Shorty licked it and talked about a big pen there for it. As I was doing the flood later a golden eagle landed on the front lawn for a long drink. Since then this angelology rule for seeing claims enlargement of the senses of mind and vision that makes visible opacity become transparent. Were a society of this believed among those who consider the spiritual, not the natural eternal, contemporaries together might say with David, Shakespeare, Milton and Dante, as much as with Shorty the hound, who lays her snout and large eyes upon the board to say, away I will no more, these seeming contradictions of a spiritual world upside down, reverse the order of the natural where what was under seems above, which paradoxes are believed among those who already believe and disbelieved among the rest almost exactly in proportion as the acknowledgment of this belief is known. In this praise for Transfigurations I told her  that I wanted Ruth here to do the opposite of what happened to Momo.
