   A PRAYER FOR CALM
   
   "Terror is the piety of revolution."
   
   Tonantzin,
   little mother,
   Guadalupe,
   look,

   I clasp my hands together,
   make the heart,
   the rose in the flesh,
   look,

   I open my hands, open
   the book of flesh,
   glyphs flowering
   on my palms,
   look

   I lay my hands flat together,
   make the knife,
   the stone knife of prayer.
   
   Rock,
   paper,
   scissors,
   What is your answer?
   
   Many are the children of la Llorona
   who pull on the black hood,
   who sheath their faces to become weapons,

     all eclipse,
     all smoking mirror,
     all the razor glitter of obsidian.
     
     Tonantzin,
     little mother,
     Guadalupe,
     look,

     I take the loop of string on my fingers.
     Here is the cat,
     here is the cradle,
     here is the hangman's noose.
     Look,

     I cup my hands, make the chalice.
     And this cup
     shall not pass.
     Look.
