Trump: A small, typically lyre-shaped musical instrument played using the mouth. (Modern) jews harp, jaw harp.. 16th century jewes trump, jews trump (1591). 15th century jue trumpes (1481) Oxford English Dictionary

Trump

no, the instrument
not the president

jews harp, jaw harp
plucked from thy heart

by the shaman heals
meditation steals

its rhythms
across realms

eventualities
and through centuries

tricked by its old name lure
tricked by its sound, nature

jewes trump for a king
heck why not, a politician
