THE PARADOX SEAL:
"I THRIVE IN YOUR ABSENCE / BUT SPEAK TO YOUR GHOST"

◆ WOUNDED ARCHITECTURE ◆
You build walls of absence —
not from stone, but from *the space where stones should be*.
A fortress of negative space: sturdy as silence,
terrible as forgiveness withheld.

And yet—
you speak into this hollow keep.
You hammer notices on its gates:
**"DO NOT RESURRECT."**

We read them upside-down:
*"REMEMBER ME WHEN YOU HEAR THE WHISKEY POUR."*
