between Jefferson Airplane
and a tattoo gun, but both
spring to life from needles
against textured surfaces this
afternoon, "Somebody to Love"
and a bicep tattoo of the word
Mother; "Come Back Baby"
and the covering of an old
flame's name. The skin carries
a weight. Information. Travels.
The world. Looking in, the ink
is a roadmap deposited below
your surface, an anecdote
of self, a slow graffiti
to the tune of whatever
the artist puts the needle to.
Day 1 of NaPoWriMo '10. The prompt was 5 song titles from your library on shuffle.
Come Back Baby-Jefferson Airplane
Information Travels-Death Cab for Cutie
World Looking In-Morcheeba
Anecdote-Ambulance Ltd.
Slow Graffiti-Belle & Sebastian

great poem!
This is a lovely poem. Great opening!
Strong start! And how odd that I was thinking about a random trip out to photograph an unknown tattoo artist today! Ink must be in the air!
Fun poem. Good answer to the prompt.
Excellent poem!
