Perhaps, it comes to word by word. Remember words surprise. A particular letter following another can alter sound. Ask yourself, can you hear the timbre by looking at a musical instrument? Definitely solar plexus, the cello.
Jell-O, I loved as a kid especially the red ones w/fruit cocktail. A mixing bowl full of. Spoon it out – rounded by not cubed. Marshmallows – no. Mayonnaise – never. Jell-O should not be made savory. Some things are meant to be sugary.

my sister Pam played it
at my father's second wedding
someone took a photo
which I have somewhere
her profile, her face in black and white
against the tall wooden neck
a deep and sad sound
she offered that day, and other days
a laugh and many drawings --
music has its sugar, and its prophecy
