Her Orchestral Body
Folder:
Other Dedications I. Strings
An hourglass curved form
with inlaid freckled grain,
and strands of hair that
are strummed to the tune.
II. Woodwind
When playing different notes,
the music heard can vary;
fingers cover noise valves
to elicit the most beautiful song.
III. Brass
A mouthpiece placed against
lips just so and puckered,
hands slide in special ways
to change the range of sounds.
IV. Percussion
Legs clash together like
cymbals of sensual music;
skin is stretched over her
frame is rhythmically tapped.
