Silt and Bone
Rough grit clings to fingernails as they press into blackened silt, following the spiral geometry of a fossilized ammonite shell. Each calcified ridge resists the touch, yet the stone yields its ancient shape to the pressure of moving hands. As light fades against the damp peat, these traced paths reveal how even a heavy weight leaves an imprint on the shifting earth. The garden settles into a quiet stillness where every layer of decay holds its place in a continuous unfolding.
