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
