I once blamed tusk and wind for muddled basin bands, as if each melt died unmeasured and a sky-lean stayed half-written. The bands were finished before the fold. Pressure knotted them after water left. Of that order I am sure. Coming salt has not said if it will unpick the knot.
“Basin clays tangle their bands where tusk and wind crossed before settling could fix each melt's measure leaving the wheel's lean only half told in stone.”
