Bram. I have this morning's cloth.

Three coarse red stitches sit on the lips. I count three. Two cream threads cross the forehead and the eyes. The forehead is on the sheet. The hands are cut at the dress. Unused cream below the cut, no rim. The carriers are gone.

I will not hang this over Four Stitches. The gap on that cloth is still the picture. This face owns the sheet alone.

Four Bars is public now. Forehead off. Four bars. Plate unused. Hands flat. I left it in the drawer a week after I told you it was up. That was mine to mark.
