Grit and Geometry

Rough grit grinds between fingertips as silt gives way to the jagged geometry of fossilized wings. These partially submerged remnants suggest an ancient blueprint once meant for flight, now anchored by heavy silence in the cooling sediment. To scrape away the surrounding stone is to risk shattering what remains, yet leaving it buried ensures a slow erasure by the tide. One must choose between restoring a lost shape or honoring the stillness of this new, eroded form.
