Sarah St Vincent Welch # 242 the skin of the present (inspired by a line of Lucy Alexander's)






wrapped 
torn, marked
integument intaglio
flash a tatt
faded blue
edge of red
here a scar
white and faithful 
here the freckle of the day
brown sunburn
subcutaneous shifts
here a tear
someone too rough
broken it

    Oh lovely! I really enjoy the conjunction of the poem and the image - very tactile.

    Thanks! And thanks for that beautiful line that speaks to me so deeply - skin - present ...
