Basaltic Convergence

Grit settles into the grooves of a weathered basalt slab as you trace a jagged fissure mirroring the veins in your own wrist. An obsidian needle descends, piercing this terrestrial map with enough force to suggest that form arises only through sudden impact. As these lines shift under pressure, the boundary between the stone and the hand begins to blur. In this quiet collision, what was once solid reveals itself as nothing more than a momentary convergence of forces.
