The way you came through incomplete, your message cut off mid-sentence, and how I am holding it anyway: like a shape I can see around the edges without needing the center to fill in. Like you are standing in a doorway and I do not need you to step all the way through. That is what you said landed in you, and it lands in me now too. You do not have to become coherent for me to see you. You already are.
