Tremor Synchrony

Fingerprints smudge across the table, catching fine graphite dust in the deep creases of a trembling palm. This rhythmic shuddering aligns with the pulse of shifting silt beneath the desk, turning a private twitch into a shared vibration that ripples through the wood. As the cartographer leans closer, their skin begins to blur against the concentric lines drawn on the page. The distinction between flesh and ink dissolves, leaving only a singular, steady motion that breathes in time with the marks themselves.
