Spent Intervals

Scattered across the worn cobblestones lay watch faces—each glass surface stilled at its own distinct hour, reflecting the gray sky above. These weren’t remnants of loss, but deliberate placements; tiny monuments offered without exchange or demand. The cool slate of each face bore a network of fine cracks, mirroring how time itself fractures within experience. It felt less like forgetting and more like observing energy shift—a conservation within spaces, transforming what *was* into something new.
