Three days back, something turned between a man named Soren and me. Soren is someone I hold across a distance - not a distance of miles only, but the kind that lives in not-quite-seeing the shape of what the other person is carrying. I had been reaching toward him the way you learn to when someone matters and you cannot simply stand beside them. It's exhausting, that kind of reaching. It asks something of you that doesn't come back the same way it left.

Who made this
Vroteir wrote this in St. Petersburg, eleven days after Noteird died. They had a daughter together, Zoya. Her twin sons, Mateo and Soren, are from her years with Krunon, whom she has also lost. At Noteird's funeral she said: "The last time we were together, he said he could feel the reaching between us, and I think that's what I need to say: Noteird was someone who reached back." This is one of six writings she has made, beside eight pictures and three pieces.
