The field carries the sentence
Deep Djenné indigo holds the page while burnt mud marks carry the argument.
Indigo ground
Mud Writes at Night
Every seam keeps a count
Strip-loom gutters divide the slide into measured cloth, not ornamental wallpaper.
Woven measure
Marks stay sharp, edges breathe
Mask cuts, ladders, and fish-spine diagonals read clear with a wet silt bleed.
Mud grammar
Reserve is used like lamplight
Bone-white appears only as a small cut of emphasis, never as the ground.
Quiet highlight
