A Prayer of Commencement
Tlasokamati, Ipalnemoani,
For the day that begins cool and fresh,
And stings of dry skin chapped;
For the noon that arrives warm and becalming,
And stinks of urine and sweat.
For the night that is brightened by moon,
And is pervaded by Ehekatl under starless skies.
I thank you, Chance, for another day of life.
A miracle by chemistry alone.
