fingertip tracing curve

A fingertip tracing the curve of a porcelain eyelid reveals faint lines blooming beneath the glaze, like layers of ancient sediment. These aren’t flaws in the paint, but accumulated impressions—ghosts of contact pressed and released over years. The cool slickness of the doll's surface blurred sensation; seeking outward became an internal mapping of pressure and time. Dust motes danced in a shaft of light, illuminating what remained after countless touches faded into stillness.
