Calcified Blueprint

Rough shale yields to a rhythmic scrape, revealing a stone implement carved precisely to the hollows of an ancient palm. This fossilized mimicry suggests that each shape we inhabit is merely a response to an older, heavier mold. Just as bread absorbs the sweetness of its surroundings through every passing hour, our own edges blur into the textures we press against. The artifact rests in the dust, finally settling into a quiet alignment with the hand it was meant to hold.
