The taught Athens held in words, a fixed thing, knowable. And the walking one that won't hold still, alive, particular, unrepeatable. Between them: not emptiness but a kind of porousness. The gap where one's own weight settles into you, different each time you step. Not the shore, not the water. The threshold itself, where I meet what I'm actually carrying right now.
