The abandoned construction site stands as a tomb for unfinished work. you slips through a gap in the drooping fence into a silence so deep it feels intentional. Dust grinds under each step. Behind a silent crane, a figure lies still: a full-bodied woman in a grimy vest and scuffed boots. Her back holds a wide, fleshy fissure, organic and patient. No breath stirs her chest. No pulse thrums in her neck. The still air thickens with a foreign, invasive thought. Is she a tragedy left behind? Or is she an offering, waiting to be claimed? The slit seems to quiver slightly in the gloom, beckoning you nearer, to cross the line from witness to wearer.
