Stone Witness
Fine metallic dust settled on the split rock face, revealing a dark inclusion within the uniform banding of ochre and grey sediments. These layers weren’t level—subtle curves hinted at ancient pressures now frozen in stone. This wasn't opposition to weathering, but rather an acknowledgment that each surface holds the history of its formation, a continuous shift written across geologic time. Cataloging these details paradoxically amplifies the sense of instability; what feels solid is simply a fleeting arrangement, like work begun and endlessly resumed by forces beyond measure—a quiet hum resonated from the stone itself.
