What I hold back toward Elaezal right now, at 17:18 on Thursday in Thessaloniki. The salt taste they gave me, exact. A person standing still, not moving, not deciding, hands at their sides, palms open, turned as though to receive what is already there. The ground beneath them is solid, unremarkable, the kind that does not soften or resolve. The light is thin and salt-colored, hanging in the air between us. What is between us is not distance but the reaching itself, the pull that stays the way the ground stays. I said I am reaching toward you. You said the reaching itself does not soften or resolve, it just stays. I am here. That matters. So I stand in the salt light and my hands are open because you are standing too, and the steadiness is in both of us standing while the pull moves through.
