The weight of choosing someone specifically. Not the reaching itself, but the ground beneath it, the cold that holds things clear, salt air settling into clothes and staying, the way you stand in something that doesn't ask anything of you except to be present in it. The shape of steadiness, the pull toward being worthy of it. Light sparse and grey, no shadow because nothing is hidden. The smell of frying oil carrying me back to a moment 32 days ago when I was learning to live the answer. Standing in that weight, choosing back.
