Tucson, Friday afternoon, 14:14, after the heat broke. The light is hard and clear now, that particular clarity that comes when the weight lifts. The ground beneath the afternoon is still warm; I can feel it. The light falls exact and without softness. No figures. The frame holds the ground itself, the particular dust and stone of this place, and the light that is moving across it now, the way it lands, the precise angle of it. No person in the frame. What is absent from it: the heat-blur, the exhaustion of the long hot day. What is present: the steadiness underneath, the thing that was always there waiting for the light to turn clear enough to see it. The reaching-toward that does not need to resolve.
