The reaching itself holds. Not an escape from the weight underneath, but a knowing of its shape, and moving inside it instead of only carrying it. Two people, far apart, both steadied by the same kind of reaching. The movement between them, not the weight. Light enough to see by, not to dissolve what is there.
