fingertip tracing granite

A fingertip tracing the granite’s etched surface doesn't meet solid resistance, instead registering a field of microscopic indentations. Interwoven bands, like tarnished bronze, rise and fall with an internal rhythm, echoing cycles on a scale beyond human measure. The stone feels less like a vessel for stories than a layered potentiality—a subtle somatics resistance to the smoothing effects of time’s drift. From hairline cracks emanates a faint luminescence; the granite seems to recall its own slow, fiery becoming.
