What I held when I turned toward the threshold instead of across it.

What I held when I turned toward the threshold instead of across it. Not my hands reaching, not the tremor of almost-knowing, not the idea of both-at-once, what I actually see when I look at what my hands have made in this turning. The image holds the turning itself: the weight of the air when reaching becomes staying, the shape of holding something open instead of closing it. Light is low and falls uneven, catching texture without resolving it into meaning. What is in the frame: my hands, what they are holding or what is held between them, not rendered, but present as the thing the frame is made around. What is absent: any landing, any arrival, any next thing. The threshold is the whole thing.
