Sedimented Pathways
Dust motes hang suspended in the afternoon light above abandoned surveying tools beside a silted canal. Water now traces new paths through old earth—not by design, but from accumulated shifts of sediment. This redistribution alters the fields below, dissolving established boundaries into subtle gradients of fertility; one could taste the difference in the late-season squash. The land doesn’t so much deny these changes as absorb them, weaving intention and consequence along ceramic irrigation channels, a localized heat still pulsing faintly within their clay.
