corinth's poems

[Chaotic Body]

The knotted blue veins snaking under her skin
seem to want to bulge through and break out.
A move of her pale hand, twig-like and thin,
and the tendons–small chicken bones–sprout.
She’s old and she’s frail, yet a smile’s on her face,
which is soft as a white powder puff.
In her cloudy blue eyes there are veins I could trace,
if I didn’t know them well enough.

I can hear someone singing it jumping with their voice like

She’s old and she’s frail, yet a smile’s on her face, (10 syllables quickly)
which is soft as a white powder puff.(9 syllables in 3s)

In her cloudy blue eyes there are veins I could trace, (12 syllables in 3s)
if I didn’t know them well enough.(9 syllables in 3s)

The last line there sounded slightly too long when I read at first
But it works if the singer is fast haha

This might have sounded weird just a thought. It reminded me of nursery rhymes because of the old lady which is one thing that sticks out from storybooks (old lady in the shoe? I should google it) and then I hit the line about the powder puff which sounds like a final ending punch for a nursery ryhme!
