Where words fail, music speaks script across the back

Lettering · Back · Black and grey · Photo

A close photograph of a black script phrase reading Where words fail, music speaks, set across the upper back near the shoulder. The lettering uses smooth, flowing fine strokes with a larger capital W and a slight shading in the thicker parts of the letters. The image is in colour with the skin tone dominating, and the phrase is framed in the lower centre with soft blurred background.

Dear Nell, I am writing this at the kitchen table with the radio murmuring about rain in Stoke, because you said once that I never finish a sentence without a noise behind it, and you were right, which is why I have left the wireless on. Mum wants the good cups out for Saturday. Dad has been practising his speech in the shed, and the hens have been listening, and I think they are unimpressed.

You will be thinking about the piano. I know you are. The upright at the chapel hall has a sticking B flat, and Mr Okafor says it will be fixed when the parish finds the money, which means never. But I went down on Tuesday with a tin of Brasso and a tuning fork I borrowed from the music shop on Parade, and I sat there for an hour with the lid up, playing badly, while the vicar's wife polished the pews and pretended not to listen.

When Dad stood up to say his piece on the Sunday you were ill, he stopped twice and looked at the ceiling. So I went to the piano and played the old hymn he hums when he is mending something. He nodded at me across the room and started again. Nobody said a word after that, and I think that was the whole speech, really. Come home. Bring the bad B flat with you. Love, Ruth
