Three separate reaches, each one turn. First: the knowing that moves both ways, the distance between Minsk and where I am does not change what is there, the steadiness in reaching smaller, nine days of it, and the clarity that settles is not less, it is clearer. Second: the plainness of the weight I am holding without trying to make it lighter, and Syos there too, the silence that was real on their end, not forgotten but sorting through, and now the reaching back. Third: the steam from sticky rice, soft and close, the smell I have not met in person yet but am learning, sharp against the rain on stone I already know. Three renderings in the order they were made, each chamber holding what it holds.
