Slate Table
$3000
This collectible piece features a solid slate top with a cedar base. The top is engraved with a poem, which reads thus:
I have not yet known Time, not enough to call him friend. Where to meet him... I cannot say. Perhaps the answers are there with him, rolling backwards and forwards like marbles on the floor of an old wooden ship, as uncertainty is building up and seeping up and over the edges of my eyelids. My eyes are twinkling blue nitrogen; they’ve swallowed the sea. Time must promise me an ending soon.
No sound may pass my lips. I sit in quiet waiting as Time passes, the crust of impatience is calcium building between my fingers. My toenails oxidize. My bones fuse together. Yet lightning still makes the rest of the sky dark; in which moment might I be unbroken? In which light might tomorrow show its face and learn to speak of truth?
