Describe the box.
It is square, carved from elm with a brass hinge and lock.
I see you hold it in your hands.
I hold it against my body, so.
It is a burden.
It is the size of a tea-caddy.
It is an object of beauty.
You could call it beautiful. The grain, the glow.
The box is very old.
The box would prefer we not discuss its age.– from ‘Her Unbreakable Box’
