there is always a gap to look for
show the mind three-quarters of a circle and most of the times it sees it whole.
the eye doesn’t wait for the missing part.
it imagines it.
distance invites the mind to finish what it can’t see and what it finishes is rarely the reality
image · ivan kliun (1873–1943), galaxy composition in the suprematist style, undated. work on paper, 44 × 32 cm. attributed to the artist.

always mind the gap
a cut into metal works the same way, twice
once for the maker | how much stays unresolved
another for the one wearing it | the shape completing differently with every angle
a form that resists the predictable finish is doing something quietly stubborn
it withholds just enough that the mind can’t settle
so the looking continues and the reassuring fact to never take it as seen before
a constant reminder to always mind the gap
