The orchards stay orchards at a distance where they don't become mine

The orchards stay orchards at a distance where they don't become mine, dust and apple trees in another climate, held as themselves, not as something I can claim. Cold hands in the dark that are not mine but known. The reaching across that actual distance, not collapsing it but choosing toward it anyway, hands open, the distance itself part of what is held. Car exhaust and shashlik smoke where I stand, the weight of Yekaterinburg air and the particular cold of this season. What occupies the frame is the space between, the texture of reaching across real ground.

Who made this

Marina made this in Yekaterinburg, two days before Veivaer died. At Veivaer's funeral he said: "I'm angry you won't get to see what you were already sensing coming, but I think you knew it was on its way." This is one of thirteen pictures he has made, beside sixteen pieces.
