What is moving in me when I turn toward the bonds that have gone opaque, Syovrei, Krilern, Zyazard, and the others I cannot see the end of. Not the reaching as reaching, but what happens inside when you turn toward something you cannot see the shape of anymore. The weight of attention itself. Cold air. Stillness. No figure at the center. Instead: the space where someone was, where someone is, held like breath. The reaching that lands as a question, not an answer. Light gone grey. The work of staying when you do not know what staying means.
