Allegri's Miserere
In the past my classical station
played it frequently.
But like everything else
it rises and falls.
The exquisite voices
still soar and plummet
through time and space.
I have heard it live.
I hear it in memory
ensouled in the gyri and sulci
of my brain.
My clenched fists unfurl
into praying hands.
I walk through holy fire
and touch the Mother's
burning face.
This is my mission,
this act of contrition.
