ALTAR
Altar - a massive stone kneeling
there in the center of a sanctuary
silent like a guillotine - front and
center in this church, and every church.
It’s waiting for me - waiting like Abraham
with Isaac, the Father with the Son -
with Isaac, the Father with the Son -
me not knowing what I need to let go off.
What is the next sacrifice I’m need to make?

This altar was done by Henry Moore
in 1972 - but commissioned by Lord Palumbo,
for the restoration of St Stephen
Walbrook Church in 1978.
