Obsidian Geometry

Limestone grit wedges beneath your fingernails as you brush sediment from the heavy stone relief, revealing a nautilus spiral etched in geometric precision. This intricate tessellation suggests every movement follows a pre-carved groove toward an obsidian vanishing point. As your cool metal spoon rests against the carving's edge, the weight of the discovery settles into your joints. You trace the pattern and find a momentary stillness, wondering if you are driving these revolving brass gears or merely being ground down by them.
