when your mother can rise from her place	A
on the pew during the early service	B
	-
early enough that the sun barely fills the sky	C
with its weak straw but row after row	D
	-
in the auditorium is flush with folks who want	E
to be home before the football game gets underway	F
	-
or hate the slower pace the later service takes	G
but still got to get their god on	H
	-
before starting a new week when she can rise	I
and tip down the aisle three inch heels	J
	-
pointing a warning at hell through the plush	K
mauve carpet smile and nod at preacher	L
	-
who is sitting on the pulpit's little throne	M
with his bible beneath his palm a man thick chested	N
	-
and stout bellied with moral authority whose face	A
gleams with crushing benevolent power	L
	-
when she can give him a pleasant nod	O
and circle around behind the microphone standing	P
	-
like a thin silver trophy between the heavenly	Q
floral arrangements give a firm tug	R
	-
to the hem of her suit jacket and lean over	L
the dimpled nob the ribbons encircling the crown	S
	-
of her broad brimmed hat quivering with each	T
breath the crisp white paper in her hands	U
	-
held out at arm's length from her customary squint	V
her eyes scooting back and forth	W
	-
between this document and the village of worshipers	X
fanning themselves and waiting on her voice	Y
	-
when she can stand there and coo good morning	P
praise the lord and introduce her reading	P
	-
as a poem by my daughter a quick look	Z
at your beaming father then take your words	A2
	-
between her lightly pinked lips and raise each one	B2
to the light before god and these witnesses	C2
	-
enunciating like she learned to recite from the fourth	W
grade primer in her schoolhouse's single room	D2
	-
sending sound through the vowels	E2
like a bell when she can do this can rise and walk	F2
	-
and smile and read and have the church say amen	G2
then you can safely declare it is clean	H2
