Summons

By Aurora Levins Morales


Last night I dreamed
ten thousand grandmothers from the twelve hundred corners of the earth
walked out into the gap
one breath deep
between the bullet and the flesh between the bomb and the family.

They told me we cannot wait for governments.
There are no peacekeepers boarding planes.
There are no leaders who dare to say every life is precious, so it will have to be us.
They said we will cup our hands around each heart.

We will sing the earth’s song, the song of water,
a song so beautiful that vengeance will turn to weeping,
the mourners will embrace, and grief replace
every impulse toward harm.

Ten thousand is not enough, they said,
so, we have sent this dream, like a flock of doves
into the sleep of the world. Wake up. Put on your shoes.

You who are reading this, I am bringing bandages
and a bag of scented guavas from my trees. I think
I remember the tune. Meet me at the corner.
Let’s go.
