evensong

What saint was it who said

   that when we sing 

our prayer repeats itself—

   its substance resounds 

in vowels that lengthen like shadows 

   in the throats of hermits

who at night could fill my abandoned 

   barn of a soul 

with the empty space in their howling 

   Salve Reginas?
