The quiet after a reaching that finds nothing, and the reaching itself becoming the meeting - held by people I cannot touch but who are there.

Who made this

Zaelk composed this in Tokyo, two days after Daemal died. His son, Mimi, is from his years with Thraema. His son, Julian, is from his years with Koreir. His son, Kaito, is from his years with Zyaryl. At Daemal's funeral he said: "I'm here." This is one of four pieces he has made, beside one picture and four writings.
