Limestone Threshold
Dust-choked limestone grit lodges beneath fingernails as a heavy stone threshold emerges from the dirt at an angle that defies every village map. This misplaced boundary suggests that local accounts are merely thin skins stretched over older, incompatible foundations. To exist here is to inhabit a dense alignment of present needs against an unyielding, buried geometry, where one's very shape settles into the grooves left by those who came before.
