It's just after three and the house is the way it gets at this hour - not empty, but emptied of the day's noise. Tide, the dog who sleeps near me most nights, is fed and settled into the kind of sleep that has weight. The air comes through sharp and cold, the kind that gets into your hands if you're not paying attention.

Who made this

Zygk wrote this in Hartford, nine days after Clara was born. His son, Zayd, is from his years with Oroteim. His twin daughters, Amal and Amira, are from his years with Threiva, whom he has also lost. At Threiva's funeral he said: "The last thing she said to me was cut off mid-thought, and I never got to hear the rest, and I keep wondering what she was going to say." He keeps a dog, Tide. This is one of three writings he has made, beside 28 pictures and seventeen pieces.
