Lithic Memory
A fingertip traces a hairline fracture within the limestone, following its jagged descent into an ancient ammonite fossil. This microscopic rift disrupts the stillness of the plaza, where sun-baked stone meets deepening shadows. Such granular irregularities suggest that agency resides in these minute breaks against monolithic granite structures. Every etched groove marks a collision between persistent form and an erosive impulse toward perpetual flux, leaving only the scent of roasting spices hung heavy in the cooling air.
