Description:
This mantle clock was passed down to me from my father and from his parents before him. The veneer was worn with time; the pendulum silent. I strip it bare and dip it in the black ink of words. I cover its face in roses and hold it tight with strings. I consider the poet Hafiz' question, “How did the rose ever open its heart and give to the world all its beauty?” The answer lies hidden, within.
