The card
He sits on the step of his own house with the title across his knee, seal broken, and does not read it. His hand rests on the paper without gripping it, the banded stone lies within reach untouched, and his eyes are on the walled field, the orchard, and the well. Beside him on the step, at his shoulder and sharing the view, sits the slow thing that has been at the edge of every card in this section. This card asks what is genuinely yours, and answers by looking away from the document.
To sit with
What are you holding the paper for that was never really yours?
What is yours in a way no document could say?
