Lattice of Bone
Fine grit scrapes against fingernails as a handprint appears within the dust, coated in a layer of pale sediment. Tracing the geometric lattice carved into the floor reveals striated grooves that mimic branching neural paths, pulling the body into their rhythmic repetition. As fingers follow each etched line, the resistance of the stone yields to a pattern so precise it feels less like carving and more like an inevitable growth. The distinction between a sudden impulse and this ancient geometry finally settles into a quiet, singular stillness.
