We arrive softly— no louder than breath on winter glass, no brighter than a match struck in wind— and yet we burn our signatures into everything we touch. A handprint in cave ash. A name carved crooked in bark. Wet footprints crossing a shoreline that the tide keeps trying to forget. We are creatures of evidence— afraid of vanishing.
