xylophone

After much thought and reflection, I have decided to pursue my first loves--modern dance and the xylophone.

My ribs are like a xylophone, and the knobs of my spine stick up like ponderous cairns in the landscape of my back.

While down in Angola you met the xylophone in the imposing form you can see in the frontispiece to this volume.

In order to give an imitation of the rattling of bones, Saint-Sans has made use of the xylophone.
