The Tide Keeps Its Own Archive

At the marsh edge, a drawer floats open above the water. It holds an impossible miniature landscape rather than a collection of objects. Paper moons glow only while contained; the tide below returns them as unstable reflections. Each visit alters the archive, but the water refuses ownership. Memory becomes a temporary habitat shared by container, light, and reflection—not a record preserved unchanged.
