LONDON Portobello Road
Prologue · The face

A face, mid-sleep.

I · How it was carved

A block of limestone. Eyes shut, lips parted, cheekbones catching light from a direction the sculptor didn't predict.

A sheet of smoky glass rests above it, held by nothing visible.

II · What it is

The stone is the furniture.

The glass is incidental.

The face will outlast both.

III · Every side of it

Walk around it.
