Goddess Kaddish: dedicated to Greta Thunberg a faithful Kaddishim<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I can hear my mother call; can you hear your mother call?
The Mothers who have chosen to give birth
And The Mothers who have chosen not to<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Can we let our Mothers choose\u00a0
While also choosing our Mothers?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Fetal heartbeat laws
Alabama, Georgia, Ohio, and Louisiana
Restrictive American meccas\u00a0
Using 21st century trick-nology to make medieval decisions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The heartless say they hear a heartbeat
Could the Religious Right
Be religiously wrong?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Macrocosmic microcosmic contradictions
We use laws to remove choice from Mothers
While refusing to enact laws to protect Mother Earth\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Leave the seamless webs to Mother Ariadne
Because when we weave
our webs are frayed\u00a0
And misshapen\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And Mother knows best<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To She whose name means:\u00a0
The Mother of all Living
Who continues to get a bad rap<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To the serpent encircling the egg of creation who waits patiently for our realization.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Au\u1e43 sa\u1e43 Sarasvatyai nama\u1e25\u0965
Hail to Thee oh Source of all Wisdom<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

May Her great Name grow exalted and sanctified<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u0950\u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f:\u00a0\u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f:\u00a0\u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f:\u0965

Amen Peace, Peace, Peace<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the world that She created as She willed
May Her sovereignty prevail in your lifetimes and in your days,\u00a0
And in the lifetimes of the entire world family
Swiftly and soon.\u00a0
Now say:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u0950\u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f:\u00a0\u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f:\u00a0\u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f:\u0965
O\u1e43 \u015bh\u0101nti\u1e25 \u015bh\u0101nti\u1e25 \u015bh\u0101nti\u1e25
Amen Peace, Peace, Peace<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

May her Names be blessed forever and ever<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I can hear my mother call; can you hear your mother call?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But no science applying to Mother Earth.
Why listen to climate science when you can just guess?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Black milk from the breast of mother earth\u00a0
\u00a0she nurses us patiently
But will we ever be weaned?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To Greta Thunberg who sees her long body already perceiving herself
As mother\u00a0
As crone\u00a0
As ancestor<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sixteen year old Tetragrammaton\u00a0
She is three in one and one in three\u00a0
And speaks as the mystical fourth
Obsessively and compulsively seeing the world in Black and White
So that it may stay forever Green<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The celebration of the earth needs more then a single day
One million species at risk of extinction in the next twenty years<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The greatest threat to biodiversity<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

U.S.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

(We see you, Monsanto)\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Can we collectively reassemble this shattered vessel while there is still time<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

tikkun olam:
Goddess will only come to earth when she is no longer needed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

All poets have selective mutism and speak only when necessary
And this is one of those times
Oh sing, Greta\u00a0
Sing you faithful kaddishim
Your skin, bone, and heretic\u2019s heart be your authority.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u0950\u0936\u094d\u0930\u0940\u0902\u0932\u0915\u094d\u0937\u094d\u092e\u094d\u092f\u0948\u0928\u093e\u092e\u0903\u0965
Au\u1e43 sr\u012b\u1e43 Lak\u1e63hmyai nama\u1e25\u0965
Hail to Thee Oh Source of all riches<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Blessed, praised, glorified, exalted, extolled,
Mighty, upraised, and lauded be the Name The Triple Goddess
Blessed is She.
Beyond any blessing and song,\u00a0
Beyond any praise and consolation that are uttered in the world.
Now say:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u0950\u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f:\u00a0\u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f:\u00a0\u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f:\u0965

Amen Peace, Peace, Peace<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

May Her Name be blessed forever and ever<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I can hear my mother call; can you hear your mother call?
To the earth mothers through whose hands the Goddess feeds
Can you see her hands in all hands hands?
Making a chapati
Or a flour tortilla
A loaf of bread\u00a0
Injera\u00a0
Sweet potato flat bread
Or offering fermented cabbage and a single bowl of rice<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u0950\u0915\u094d\u0930\u0940\u0902\u0915\u093e\u0932\u094d\u092f\u0948\u0928\u092e:\u0965
Au\u1e43 kr\u012b\u1e43 k\u0101lyai nama\u1e25\u0965
Hail to She who takes away the darkness\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Blessed, praised, glorified, exalted, extolled,
Mighty, upraised, and lauded be the Name\u00a0
Of She who governs the fullness of time
Blessed is She
Blessed beyond any blessing and song,\u00a0
Beyond any praise and consolation that are uttered in the world.\u00a0
Now say:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u0950\u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f:\u00a0\u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f:\u00a0\u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f:\u0965

Amen Peace, Peace, Peace<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To the Virgin
To the Naiad\u00a0
To the Crone
In her fear inducing\u00a0
And beneficent forms
Can you see her vigorously pointing\u00a0
Spanking your bare bottom
Or using a shoe like a boomerang<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

(Boy! I brought you into this world and I can take you out, too)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To the Angels in suffragette white raising the roof in Congress;\u00a0
The workers striking and singing Bread and Roses
The burnt wreckage of our lady in Paris\u00a0
The Black meteoric stone in Mecca encased in Vaginal shaped silver\u00a0
We all come from The Mother and unto Her we shall return<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u0950\u0939\u094d\u0930\u0940\u0902\u0936\u094d\u0930\u0940\u0902\u00a0\u00a0\u0926\u0941\u0902\u00a0\u0926\u0941\u0930\u094d\u0917\u093e\u092f\u0948\u0928\u092e\u0903\u0965
Au\u1e43 hr\u012b\u1e43 sr\u012b\u1e43 du\u1e43 durg\u0101yai nama\u1e25\u0965
Hail to She who is difficult to approach
Grantor of Increase
Who Removes all Difficulties<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

May there be abundant peace from Heaven\u00a0
And life upon us and upon all the world
Now say:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u0950\u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f:\u00a0\u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f:\u00a0\u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f:\u0965
O\u1e43 \u015bh\u0101nti\u1e25 \u015bh\u0101nti\u1e25 \u015bh\u0101nti\u1e25\u0965
Amen Peace, Peace, Peace<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I can hear my mother call. Can you hear your mother call?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To the Southern Black Women\u00a0in a galvanized steel tub
Who laundry danced so that I could fly
Oh mother I would kiss those soapy feet if I could<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To the German char woman who could
butcher
cook
and eat\u00a0
every single part of a pig
\u201cBrains is good waste not want not\u201d
she would say<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Three boxes of detergent in her cupboard at all times\u00a0
When one was empty\u00a0
Time to buy a replacement box<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To Sister mothers who held my hand while mama died
She who habitually stole the last crispy perfect french fry\u00a0
From my dinner plate<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

From womb to tomb
Womb to tomb\u00a0
again and again
be they\u00a0
Stellar
Aqueous\u00a0
Or Earthly dust<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We all come from The Mother and unto Her we shall return<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

She who makes peace in Her heights, may She make peace,\u00a0
Upon us and upon all the world
Now say:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u0950\u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f:\u00a0\u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f:\u00a0\u0936\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0924\u093f:\u0965
O\u1e43 \u015bh\u0101nti\u1e25 \u015bh\u0101nti\u1e25 \u015bh\u0101nti\u1e25\u0965
Amen Peace, Peace, Peace<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Mother you are full of grace
And blessed are we the fruit of Your womb
Bless us now and in the hour of our deaths and rebirths<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
