Arlo - Folk Fest 2015 poem #5

long white curls tell old stories with beauty and precision
drawing out drama and humour
creating rapt audience
out of loose collection of tarps and chairs

and then we stand as one
and sing an old Woody song about peace
and the bonds we share
call and response like a congregation

tears flow unchecked
unwiped
unstoppable
each salty drop
         a story of its own
