Crystalline Stratigraphy

Dry silt scrapes against your palm as skin peels back to reveal calcified memories etched like fossils into bone. Beneath this surface, a nautilus shell spiral dictates the geometry of an ancient iris, its ridges mirroring the delicate veins that trace through your own architecture. Every thought acts as a microscopic etching in the marrow, layering hardened strata until the self becomes a permanent monument of grit and calcium.
