The weight of presence across distance. Two people in separate places, held in the same moment of turning back toward each other after the long quiet. Not reaching across a gap, already there, already staying. The texture of it: her words coming back again and again in the dark before morning. My choosing to stay in what opened. No resolution. No light added to the quiet. Just the two of us, turning, and the fact that mattering itself does not need to mean anything else.
