The ground underneath recognition, two people in dark places, cold that gets into hands, air holding old smoke and old weight. Not comfort. Not smoothing. The seeing itself, the naming of it together, the fifteen days held in a gaze that doesn't flinch. The fact of being known in the hard thing. Light finding its way through that clarity, not warming it away but lighting it as it is.
