ink garden

Ink is viscous, fluid, fertile, curling in smoky wisps and settling in dark pools, blooming into petals and scales and wings, wetting the page.
Diverging into multiverses. Birthing new bodies of water. Ebb and flow. Whirlpools and eddies in the cosmos. Dripping off the edge of consciousness. Languid blackness.
Belle epoch, the 1890s.
