‘Sermon to the choir….’
  the writers group sat motionless
  with their heads down

‘Sermon to the choir….’
  they listened for their instructor
  to announce—“your time starts now”

‘Sermon to the choir….’
  they tried to imagine what they had never seen
  while wondering about what they couldn’t know

‘Sermon to the choir….’
  the writers group then raised their heads
  and packed their grief to go
