What a silly place to build a Basilika!

The tongues of angels
Mother father teacher doctor priest
Who can help the suffering or harm least?
Who can help the speechless back to speech?
What are teachers for if not to teach?
Who can do this work if they are sick?
Who would choose this work if they could pick?
They must have been found wandering in the dark
Waiting for the Angel with his spark.
When words are severed from their roots within
How can they connect with human sin?
When humans cannot speak, when tongues are numb
Who are we to know what is to come?
And so the fragments and the broken eye.
Meet the tongue ripped out when someone died
How my heart sings
