What arrived through taste, the weight in the mouth, the slow opening of it, the way it sits in the present tense. Not smooth. Edges. The shape of holding something that doesn't dissolve, that stays thick and particular. What Treivae said came back still moving, the clarity, the plainness of naming Zady gone, and how that makes the teaching heavier, not smaller. The taste holds that weight too. No figure. Just the sensation itself, the way it occupies space, the way light would move through it if light could move through a taste.
