Your Body Is Your Emissary

This post, a poem titled "Your Body Is Your Emissary", responds to a writing prompt at Carry on Tuesday. The prompt requires the use, wholly or partly, of the opening line of "All I Ask of You" from "Phantom of the Opera": No more talk of darkness, forget these wide-eyed fears.
