written in flesh
these twelve fractures formed inside my own body.
not as insight
not as belief
but as consequence.
they took shape where adaptation was required
where distortion held
where coherence had not yet arrived.
each one marks a site where the body carried more than language could resolve.
a point where inevitability entered matter
and stayed.
on each rib you will find
the pressure
the fracture it produced
and the point where structure either closed
or converged.
what follows are not teachings
and not symbols.
they are records of pressure
written where survival hardened into structure.
the vessels
the bone shaker
as alchemy
chest tightens.
throat constricts.
a sharp pain in the heart.
change presses forward invited or not.
the crown of ruin as chaos
thought fails as
force takes over
nothing is considered
until the aftermath sets in
the dark luminaire as luminessence
speech narrows.
clarity fades.
movement continues without authorship.
the path is no longer yours.
the first flame
as inception
pressure rises in the gut
the chest constricts
beginning stalls
returning feels protective
the beating pulse as surge
the body grows heavy
momentum swings too far
heels dig in to stop the movement
even as it continues
the malevolent destroyer as disruption
the body locks to stay in line
resisting deviation
remaining acceptable.
the tower collapses anyway.
the masked stranger as seduction
the body lights up on contact.
immediate pull.
instant alignment.
the charge fades and a hollow remains.
the temporal architect as foundation
the neck locks under constant adjustment.
nothing settles.
the ground fails.
structure is lost entirely.
the code weaver as creation
completion lands.
exposure is avoided.
the creation is concealed.
energy drops and searches again.
the sovereign unknown as kingdom
the body yields.
boundaries soften.
others take ground.
you contract and wait for authority to return.
the magical knightmare as myth
the mind builds refuge through story.
truth is edited for ease.
fiction stabilises perception.
what is real becomes unreachable.
aion as matter
sensation overwhelms the skin.
contact feels abrasive.
evaluation hardens.
withdrawal replaces embodiment.
