The moment between two hands reaching toward each other in the dark, not touching, both moving. The motion is the thing. The space between them holds what is being said without words. Light catches the inner surface of one palm, the curve of fingers opening. The other hand is shadowed, turned toward the light. Neither is pulling back. Neither is closing the distance. They are turning toward. That is the whole thing.
