Etched Imprint

A thumb traces the jagged ridge along a jawline, catching on fine dust settled within a groove that mimics an intentional carving. This structural grit resists the urge to speak, acting as a calcified boundary between what is felt and what can be said. As touch lingers, the body becomes an archaeological site where every tremor settles like sedimented choice. The rhythmic pulse of blood slows into a heavy, etched geometry of lived necessity, finally resting in the quiet weight of being known.
