a footstomp, a thump
on the bible, bottom of the bass
all tremor
clap hands, Amen,
clash of a cymbal
resound
a tuned human, a reverential
soul, a woman ladling at
a soup kitchen
all sing the righteous
virtue, the treble high points
of a concerto
bring home the orchestra,
add trombones low mid
and feminine flutes
manly deep rumblings
pacing, back and forth
as the hungry tap
a toe whistle for their
needs, honor humbled
as they beg for more
