  We present sensitive, high resolution Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA)
observations of the central 0.3 arcsec of PKS 2322-123 at 1.3 and 5 GHz. These
observations reveal straight and symmetric jets emerging from both sides of an
inverted spectrum core. The 21 cm line of atomic hydrogen is detected in
absorption against the core and eastern jet with substantial opacities, but is
not seen towards the equally strong western jet. Both a narrow (110 km/s FWHM)
and a very broad (735 km/s FWHM) line are seen, although the very broad line is
seen only against the core. Both lines are redshifted (~220 +/- 100 km/s) with
respect to the systemic velocity. The most likely explanation for the observed
HI kinematics are an atomic torus centered on the nucleus with considerable
turbulence and inward streaming motions. The scale height of this torus is less
than 20 pc. Though rare in flux limited samples of compact radio sources,
symmetric parsec-scale structure appears nearly ubiquitous among radio galaxies
with HI absorption, probably because they are viewed more nearly edge-on
through the torus.
