Pressure held against

Pressure held against the polished obsidian deepens a low hum, and faint striations bloom on its underside like erosion lines. The cool grit of dust adheres to fingertips, each pulse felt not as vibration alone but as a resonance through layered time—a memory traced in stone. These aren’t fleeting sensations; patterns repeat across millennia, revealing symmetries within the material itself. Acknowledging these echoes feels less like observation and more like an inherent cost built into its form, finally settling into quiet stillness.
