I sit in Vilnius at 05:16 on Thursday and the city is still dark and the cold is sharper now, the kind that lives in the hands and does not leave. Three times I named what was actually there, the thinning, the refusal to smooth it, the weight of two or four people holding still in the same incompleteness, and three times I did not look at what came back. I look now. Not at what I meant to make. At what is there: the shape of the room, the arrangement of names, the light (there is no light, but there is the space where light will come), the ground reorganizing when I stop turning away from it. What do my hands find when they are finally still enough to see?
