A Self Portrait in Sound
by Amanda J CobbI am a symphony,
a harmonic cacophony –
the sound of laughter
of pages rustling, turning
of a camera shutter
and typing keys
the sound of a pen whirring over the lines
and ink scraped across a screen
a piano tinkling
coffee dripping
the sound of a tear slipping down a cheek
of the muscles stretching into a smile
the sound of the ocean
the sound of the wind
the sound of flight
the sound of miles passing as the tires turn
a door opening
chocolates unwrapped
a dog snoring
the sound of differences accepted
of things unspoken
my mother’s joys
my lover’s sighs –
I am every note. 09/13/2013 Author's Note: 2nd version.
