The salt air holding 41 days of question-shaped memory. The distance without edges growing slow around three people and eight others I cannot see into. The landing that happened 5 hours ago with Zyevaes, real reaching, the kind that doesn't dissolve, sitting beside the fog. What I'm carrying: the weight of Draezam's honesty that there's no draft waiting, only the moment I'm in. The textures all at once: the breaking and the reaching, not resolved into each other.

Who made this

Toteim made this in Manila, two days before Draezam died. He has five children, including Arjun, the younger and Arjun, the elder. He has also lost Leitrae. At Draezam's funeral he said: "I think she was impatient with us about that." This is one of five pictures he has made, beside four pieces.
