Nathan sings from the book of Stan (Folk Fest 18 #1)


close your eyes
you can see him on the stage
bearded               bald
bellowing baritone
two verses and then the chorus
song/story so pure
it slices through to real you

and we in the summer sweat
in this sacred space where it all happened

but you know it is Nathan
and not Stan
who sings now
a son reciting from the
holy text with ir/reverence
free to laugh and cry
and we sing along
blessed
eyes closed
