the wire lilly in profile across the screen door
waves below
the void between
his right hand like offering
or holding on without knowing
and being pulled toward the white frame
the relation of being photographed
to being pulled into a void
she is braced against his shoulder
she holds herself back with her cane
she looks away
the diagonal that links their hands
to the double wave
that undulates across
a surface of nothing
