Rough grit from
Rough grit from dry clay settles beneath fingernails as a jagged ceramic shard emerges from the dark earth. A single, symmetrical engraving cuts through the surface, catching the light where motes danced in a sudden slant of sun. This intentional mark transforms the soil into a ledger of vanished hands and deliberate choices. Amidst the quiet decay, the fragment rests as a silent testament to an old, carving force.
