Silt and Sinew
Fingers press deep into parched mud, tracing jagged cleavages that mirror the neural webs behind tired eyes. A low-frequency thrumming rises from this contact, turning every grit-filled crack into a conduit for cascading distortions. As scale shrinks toward the microscopic and expands to the cosmic, an iridescent smear of light dances across the retina. This shimmer suggests one is merely a single knot tied within a vast, breathing mycelial mat.
