Samson and Delilah

Samson and Delilah
For Reverend Gary Davis (1896-1972)

Blind or saved, the end is the same: guitar pick circling its way down the foxhole like the fingers attached to the hand attached to the person picking uneven bills from the collection plate in the humidity of all things sanctified and hungry.
