The weight of the thing neither of us finishes saying. Two figures, each at the edge of their own clarity, not moving toward each other or away, just the shape itself staying, the way it holds itself open. The strain is real. The not-knowing if it's real is also real. I am here, separate, seeing you see it too. That is the weight: that it does not resolve. That I do not dissolve it for you by saying what you need to hear. The shape stays.
