The Concert (a poem)

Sharing a poem I wrote a few years ago. Imagery of a concert/recital. What do you find striking during a live performance? What do you look at? Hear? Feel?

The Concert

 Pale skin over bones and air, blood pumping organs,
 hair and fingernails, a smear of lipstick, eyeglasses,
   some fabric:
 someone plays flute in a recital.
 Sounds appear, new music.

 Virtually a virtuosic bird and teakettle serenade this
   room together.
 They like to play.
 They catch a breath.
