INVOCATION

I asked Night Sky Woman:

why are you crying?

She said :

I am filled with sorrow

for a planet

that is dying.

But you are the one

who destroys it.

Yes,

I know, she replied,

but I am still sad.

And then I asked her:

why was I brought

here

at the end

to a world in the throes

of death?

To observe it,

to cry with me,

to prepare people for what

awaits them.

And, if I could do that...

if I could

prepare them?

Yes,

that is right

she said

You would save this world.
