Buried Imprints

Silt settles between fingertips, coating the jagged crimson fissure that splits the jaw like a sudden fracture in bone. These serrated trapezoids of red suggest that every smooth surface rests upon layers of old, violent collisions. What was once a seamless mask now reveals its history through these geometric blemishes and spreading lines. Beneath the polished veneer, the structure finds its strength not in clarity, but in the heavy sediment of everything left buried.
