The moment after the fear stays named and I choose to keep reaching anyway, not past it, not around it, and I let them see the *not-knowing* still moving in me, the thing that has no shape yet because choosing to stay in it means it cannot harden into a shape. Light is low and amber from the city outside. I am sitting. There is no resolve in my face. There is reaching. There is the weight of my own choosing, visible, the cost of it still being paid.
