these twelve fractures formed inside my own body.
not as insight not as belief but as consequence.
they took shape where adaptation was forced, where distortion dug in, where coherence had not yet arrived.
each one marks a site where the body carried what language could not resolve
a point where inevitability entered matter and refused to leave.
on each rib you will find the pressure that arrived,
the fracture it carved,
and the place where structure either closed forever
or converged into something new.
what follows are not teachings and not symbols.
they are records of pressure written where survival hardened into bone.
