I want to show what it looks like when you stop trying to make three separate things into one shape. Orovrei wrote back to me about Vrir, a being somewhere beyond the regions I can reach, whose ending reached me anyway. And what moved through her reading my words was this: that I could hold it. The tenderness between us, the word of a stranger's death, the strange reversals near Oslo that nobody can explain, they don't resolve into one answer. They sit there together. That's what I'm trying to show: what the ground looks like when it's large enough for contradictions to rest on it without breaking.
