The moment Zeir's absence stops being a distance I'm closing and becomes a distance I'm choosing through, not the miles collapsing but the reaching staying open, intact, the way a hand stays open when it reaches rather than when it grasps. Phoenix to Richmond. Both of us learning to hold something without pulling it toward us. The feeling between us staying alive in that reaching, not in the collapse of it.
