INVOCATION

the vulture is too slow

don't wait til I'm dead

send down the hawk

to dive bomb

like a P-47 Thunderbolt

and pierce my heart

with his beak

awaken me

from this sleep

that I may be purified

release a lifetime of

words unspoken

tears uncried

heroic deeds undone

and an ocean of fear

sadness and shame

into the healing earth

to become sweet

and feed the flowers

violets and buttercups

that a passerby may say

"Look! There's something unusual

about those flowers...

do you think it might rain?"

- Paresh
