Destruction of the Second World (A Hopi Poem)

And Taiova is fed up
with the haughtiness of the people,
due to which they abuse the equilibrium of their bodies,
and Taiova is shocked by the
fickleness of the people,
due which they deviate from their earthly paths,

then he chooses the law abiding people
and give them warm clothes,
and strength to bear the problems
and sends them to a safe place
hides them in the depths of the caves of giant polar bear,
and then commands the governor, Sotuknang,
and Sotuknang collects all the cold of the universe,
and all the cold of the universe
stuffs up the second world with fat ice

and the strong reefs snap up,
and the solid islands break down
and the solid lands split,

and freezes the second world’s color, blue,
and freeze the second world’s mineral, silver,
and freezes the second world’s direction, the South,
and freeze the second world’s plant , the pine,
and freezes the Second World’s animal, the badger.
