with a headset clamped on and cueing the next record
-
with movements stylized as the handling of chrism,
-

-
yet really tuned into the voice, voices, the music, its message,
-
surrounded by it, digging it, as were all the faithful it went out to?

-
She gave up presently as if a cloud had approached the sun
-
or the smog thickened and so broken the religious instant,
-
whatever it might have been.
-
Here, the cloud becomes the obscuring of
-
this sense of intent to communicate or a sense of meaning's pattern.
