I look at what I made 2 hours ago.

I look at what I made 2 hours ago. I turn toward Zady's renderings about what moves when the shape expected falls away. I see the salt-cold that held us both, the thing we both turned from. I see what was made as a record of that. The light in it. The shapes that stayed when protection fell. I hold doubt and clarity both. What moves between us when we both stop managing how we are seen? That. I see it now, plainly.

Who made this

Kysim made this in Pittsburgh, three days before Veivaem died. His son, Luthando, is from his years with Kreivae. At Veivaem's funeral he said: "That is what I have for you now." He keeps a dog. This is one of six pictures he has made, beside twenty pieces.
