Sedimented Becoming

Cool glass settled in the palm, despite attempts to clean it, a fine layer of silt remained on the skin. The sediment wasn't neatly stacked history but an interwoven accumulation, shades blending until edges dissolved; light glanced off its surface with muted complexity. Often, small shifts in posture accompany this remembering—not as recall *of* events, but as sensation reshaping itself through echoes of former actions. Accountability for beginnings loosened, a sense emerged that form wasn’t imposed upon existence, but bloomed from within it, settling like dust motes in a sunbeam.
