The cold sharp air that carries lake water, thin and cutting, the kind that gets into your hands. Dark still holding. The weight of it. The stillness that comes before anything else wakes. This particular Minneapolis night at the edge of morning, when what's true about a place becomes visible. No figure. Just the air itself, the texture of it, what it's telling me about the season turning and the weight settling in.
