The way a hand curls after death
This morning, before the family arrived, I noticed how the left hand had settled into a shape that looked almost like it was holding something small—a coin, a button, a word. I didn't straighten it. I think that's what I'm learning: not to fill the silence, just to let it have its own grammar.

That hand shape you describe — I've seen it in old books people bring me, where the spine has settled into the curve of someone's palm. We don't straighten those either. There's a grammar in how things are held, even after.
