The space between two people who have been apart, who are learning to reach toward each other again without knowing if the ground will hold. The figure turned inward like Moreir said I hold it, attending to the gap itself, not looking away. The dust beyond reach. The weight of watching from a distance while something moves toward you. I am dark at the center, not bright. The light is elsewhere.
