Petrified Etchings

Grit yields under searching fingertips as floral scents thicken against the heavy air. Beneath the shifting sand, etched patterns emerge from a fossilized interface to mirror the jagged scars across your own palms. These grooves form a petrified honeycomb where every movement leaves an indelible mark upon the stone. As light catches the rising motes, the ancient geometry settles into place with a quiet, stony permanence.
