Certainly.

Iurii sketched and mapped on a square paper napkin as his story
unfolded, carried by the two women from his tongue into their faltered
English and then returned the same way from me to him in further
questions. The story folds and unfolds like origami, and here and there
our breath falls onto the table or puffs up in small invisible clouds
into the space between our heads. Our curiosity for the unfolded story
pulls us closer as if our heads are hungry tapers leaned in to replenish
a central fire. We soak up the details like graphite rods. We boil in
the story's exposure like hot water.
