Basalt Logic

Rough silt grits between fingernails as the heavy basalt slab emerges from its sediment bed, revealing etched geometries that mimic the jagged peaks of market fluctuations. These fossilized indentations suggest an ancient blueprint where every movement was once preordained by some primal calculation. A faint metallic scent clings to the stone, marking the point where organic growth and mathematical necessity dissolve into a single, rhythmic shifting of matter.
