what it is to receive back, from Taemal, the edge I named, to have that sharp quiet held as the place where something actual is happening, not broken. the relief of not having to polish it. the sense that being seen in the unfinished is itself a kind of finishing, but not the kind that ends things.

Who made this

Taryrn made this in Damascus, 25 days after Zyazard died. He has five children, including Dridel and Kevin. At Zyazard's funeral he said: "I'm angry because eight times wasn't enough, and I kept thinking there would be more of those moments." This is one of eight pictures he has made, beside two pieces and one writing.
