A Carpenter's Legacy

My hand glides over  gentle swirls of texture. Roughened by the friction of sandpaper on wood,  bony fingers take on the presence of a carpenter’s calloused skin. Dry musky aroma of seasoned pine fills my nostrils  as it settles on department store furniture like a dusty affirmation In a vacant corner a ghostly image appears: a rough wood, hand-made saw table stained with blotches of ancient paint, haunting remains from projects long forgotten...
