A CAPPELLA
the music
in your
memphis
mouth --
the soft quality
of syllables
rolling
off your
sweet
tongue
melodies
spoken
in ordinary
conversation
hymns
sung
a cappella --
the roll
and twang
of words,
swayed
honeyed
and made
rich
and full
a pleasant drawl,
warm,
comfortable
as home
sounding
somehow
like summer

I'd dance if I had time.
The evening shift is calling.
Thanks for reading, Hashman.

Thanks so much, L.
I always wish them better. I couldn't stop editing this and then felt it sounded a little contrived. I knew what I going for, anyway.
Thank you again.
