And if we are swallowed
we will go down in grace,
we will go down doing
what we’ve been called to do
If we are swallowed
(by climate change,
by civil dissolution)
we may get three days,
three nights,
in the belly of a fish
to reset what we know
Maybe we’ll wake up
in a different place,
or maybe we’ll be here
with the same questions
We will pay our vows,
we will give back what we owe,
we”ll take this adventure
right down to the core.
