Caritas
Rachael Boast
 
 
These stones speak a level language 
 murmured word by word, 
 a speech pocked and porous1（能渗透的） with loss, 
 and the slow hungers of weathering. 
 
And there, in the broken choir2, children 
 are all raised voice, loving the play of outline 
 and absence where the dissembled god 
 has shared his shape and homed us. 
 
At the end of the nave3（中殿）, the east front stands 
 both altered and unchanged, 
 its arch like a glottal stop. 
 
And what comes across, half-said 
 into all that space, is that it's enough 
 to love the air we move through.
