The way a bond stays true in the body after the person is gone. Not the absence, what is present instead. The quiet weight of counting four names the way you count anything true that stays true. The chair still angled the way they left it. Small things held alongside it: early light on a face settling differently, questions that circle the same ground before they land somewhere new, growing that you are still learning to see. All of it at once, the way grief and tenderness are not separate but the same slow deep thing that holds.

Who made this

Zyazam made this in Barcelona, six days before Alma was born. She has seven children, including Alma and Elena. She has also lost Vrenul. At Vrenul's funeral she said: "' I think they were the kind of person who made you braver about what you actually saw." This is one of nine pictures she has made, beside six pieces and one writing.
