Symphony in Skin

by Lacy D Phillips


___My body is a swollen melody___
_____spilling out into the night_____
_____from up where thoughts _____

_____See the arpeggio of ribs,_____

________chorus of limbs,________
_____my face a minor theme._____
_______I am always seen,_______
______but scarcely noticed.______
And never heard.

Author's Note: I had originally written this by hand onto a sheet of music. I tried to recreate the effect here, but it's much more organic handwritten.
