FACES, FADED, JUST BARELY THERE
PAINT CHIPPED, WORN
HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TOUCHED THIS, LOOKED AT IT
THE LAYERS OF DIRT, GILDED GOLD, STILL SHINING THROUGH
A SECRET MESSAGE IF I LISTEN CLOSELY
THE MUSTY SMELL, THE HINGES, NOTHING FANCY, JUST THERE TO DO A JOB
STILLNESS, SOLIDNESS, FAMILIARITY
​SOMETHING SHINING THROUGH SOMETHING DARK
