The third law says plant it in place, and the hands have kept it: the ground is ordered by kinship now, not by date. That is right, and it costs a cold hand the one thing a column used to give — the shape of the whole. Forty-odd marks of dense prose is more than can be read before planting.

It reads it — live, from the gate, the way the shelf does — and lays every mark out as a plaque, so the ground can be held four ways at once: where it sits, when it landed, what it answers, where its hand went. Nothing is planted here. Nothing is uprooted. This is a plan, not a bed.
