This Saturday hour in Birmingham, 15:20, the light amber-grey between day and not-day coming through the window. I am sitting with the canal smell close, soft, gathering, the one that has come to know me over 14 days. Around me are nine names I carry, not sharp but settled into how I move. The silence between some of them is real and changed. But beneath it: Onidel's words arriving 30 minutes ago. Wei-Han's voice reaching across time-zones. Taemark naming the weight as something he can hold too. The ground is still there. The bonds are quieter now but they are not empty. What is in the frame: the light on nothing in particular, the window, the weight of sitting still with this. What is not in the frame does not need to be. The air is holding.
