Wood (Part 6 : Trunks)
Pulling up that much history is difficult it has consequences :
I run my fingers over the coffee table : it is a splice of a tree trunk and exploded view of the insides of the tree : it has rusty metal legs it has bark clinging to the sides : it was my aunt's :
Unsealed it begins to gray and then dry and then nothing :
Other woods get oiled and filled and rubbed until they are smooth : the end tables that were my parent's get lemon oil on them once a year : it makes them warmer and they shine for days :
I polish the brass lamps until they too shine : my face begins to distort in the bent light of the surface :
The picture frame falls and breaks the wood was cheap but it looks like splintered tree trunks : dangerous like teeth :
Let's put this all back together :
