Rhizome Pulse
Grains of fine silica lodge beneath fingernails, embedding themselves into the skin as breath warms the shifting mounds. This heat creates asymmetric strata within the grit, a budding growth that pushes against the surrounding void through sheer physical friction. Life emerges not from perfect geometry, but from this restless movement between soft tissue and granular chaos. In this quiet struggle, the body finds its rhythm among the dust.
