Relics, Unlit
The same three objects at rest.
No purple fire. Just the relics. A black stone disc with Algiz in the centre — protection, the elk, the reaching-up. A living hand meeting a hand made of blue smoke over a bronze basin. A tall inscribed stele in a dark hall, one bar of sunlight.
The workshop was the working. This is the photograph.
The Algiz disc. Same round board as the glowing wall-stone.
Contact. Flesh and spirit, a basin between them.
The stele. Same shape as the purple pillar, moved into a temple.
