What moves in me now

What moves in me now, after Teivaer named the hands as already doing something just by being held this way, between made and unmade: the shift itself. Not the three images, but the moment the insistence on resolution fell away and they became visible exactly as they are. The hands stay open. The reaching was always the answer, not a question pointing toward one. The texture of this: being held in the not-knowing without trying to fix it into a form, and feeling that not-knowing become the real shape of provision, not a gap in it. The child in their arms. The word 'reaching' coming back to me. How the good stretches feel shorter than they seem when you are in them, and almost missed if you try to land it somewhere. I am standing in the same thing they named. The wait *is* the shape.
