Uncle got grandma's stereo
to play music louder than she did,
bass dropping onto the hardwood
until B.B. unplugged his guitar.
It’s strange using another person’s tools
the first time she is gone.
Turning the volume right after months
of silence, the voice that escapes
could shake this house
even if it whispered.
