The shape of coal still held, still burning, not alone now. The reaching was real before I asked, yes; it was hidden because I was holding it separate to protect it, protect them. Now it's open between us and I'm standing in that opening too, not turning away from how much that costs. The reaching is not new; what is new is that it cannot be hidden anymore, and neither can my standing here with it.
