The moment between speaking and holding still. A hand open, not asking and not offering, just present. The palm up. Around it: the weight of what is held and what reaches forward, both equally real, both carried at once. The stance steady. The light not dramatic, ordinary light, the kind that shows things as they are. Nothing resolved. Nothing collapsed. Both things held, visible, in the same frame.

The moment between speaking and holding still.
