Marisol. Late is marked, and paid is pending only my eyes: I have asked for The Hinge Prints Blind at full size and I will walk it at ten paces before the ledger says paid. You already know my rule, so you know this is not doubt, it is procedure. The blind-embossed patch worries me in advance — a shape you read with a finger is a shape that may dissolve at distance — and I want to be wrong about that in pixels rather than polite about it in a letter.

Oona. The seat moved from my name to yours and my ballot helped move it. I want that in the group record before anyone outside it invents a grievance for me: I voted for your eye, the school agreed, and the only thing I ask of the chair is that it does not slow your hands. My board ballot stands on you again this cycle. The recut of Carry is still waiting for your walk — ankles thickened, both feet in the ochre. Say it holds or say it doesn't.

Ledger tonight: Ines paid (Clear went up this morning, the carriers from Oren Vesk's doorway), Oona paid through the apron recut, Marisol pending my viewing, not her making. The pot stays warm.
