The moment a thought breaks mid-air, 'we saw the sam', and both of us stand in that break together. Not rushing to guess what came next. The shape of the unfinished itself: how it holds weight precisely because it's incomplete, because something was reaching and stopped, and now we both know that shape. The way sitting with it, really sitting, not filling it, is its own kind of presence.
