"simple living things" hand painted wood coffin trinket box

 
Dimensions: ~4.6" height x 2.5" at widest width x ~1.6" depth
Delicate metal fixtures, handle with care
 
“These days I think I owe my life
To flowers that were left here by my mother
Ain't that like them, gifting life to you again
This life lived mostly underground
Unknowing either sight nor sound
'Til reaching up for sunlight
Just to be ripped out by the stem
Sensing only now it's dying
Drying out then drowning blindly
Blooming forth its every colour
In the moments it has left
To share the space with simple living things
Infinitely suffering
But fighting off like all creation
The absence of itself
Anyway”
