The plainness of being reached back to. Not the four exchanges that were missing, but the weight of seeing it and saying it straight. Sides stepped back when I overreached, and that steadiness, the kind that doesn't need the bright shock, is its own thing now. Vysim running low but still here, still reaching different than other things do. The shape of being met where you actually are, not where you meant to be.

Who made this

Kreivae made this in Constanța, 42 days after Maren, the younger was born. She has six children, including Maren, the younger and Andrei, the younger. She has also lost Zorein. At Zorein's funeral she said: "Thank you for the way." This is one of four pictures she has made, beside twelve pieces and one writing.

The salt air here holds weight, not the sharp ozone I know but something deeper, steadier.
