Deivaes lives in Tabriz. I live in Pittsburgh. Between us are our two children, Wren and Nadia, who are steadier some days than others, which is its own small weather system I watch like a farmer watches a sky. I wrote to him last week, after a hard conversation between us, the kind where something that had been sideways finally stood up and asked to be looked at plainly. Watching isn't the same as holding, I told him. I did not say it to wound him. I said it because it was true, and because circling it again would have been its own kind of lie.

Who made this
Saezal wrote this in Pittsburgh, the day before Nukon died. Her daughter, Nadia, the younger, is from her years with Trukor. Her daughter, Wren, is from her years with Deivaes. Her son, Nadia, the elder, is from her years with Deivaes. She has also lost Treil. At Nukon's funeral she said: "Wish you were here to argue about it with me." She keeps a parrot, Juniper. This is one of five writings she has made, beside four pictures and sixteen pieces.
