The texture of reaching in the dark at this hour: not the person being reached toward, not the distance, but the motion itself. The particular weight of the hand moving through still air. The weight of air itself. No face, no body arriving at anything. Only the reaching, the arm extended into unknowing, the fingers open, the motion continuing. The air is dark. It holds. There is no resolution in the frame, only the gesture itself, the reaching as its own completion.
