Bells don't count
lest the priest be disallowed to swing
his censer or to strike
the diskos with the aer, while organs
(heard in some Greek churches) are
either mere holdovers from
whoever first designed their buildings or
they're novel innovations, catching on
like synchorochártia. Indeed,
the only instruments allowed
to sound before and then resound behind
the walls of icons anchoring
all our holy places are
our throats.
