Chicome Acatl Izcalli Ome Tochtli/
Seven Reed Resurgence Two Rabbit

It’s the fertile ground you breathe.
Like ink bleeds:
Constellations/
Stars/
Pleiades’

Universe enclosed in a fist.
Weave words here:
crash sight.

This isn’t too look into the past.
Right now shift
clear blue lagoon fractures into iris.

Glare night
Next Ocelote/Tecuani
Citlalin Tlamina.

Eyes in the DNA
shatters might:
stars-showers-arrows.

Eclipse light
shadows covered
as pen streaks Heart of Sky.

Right now sift
breathe forest of light
Jaguars keep.

A school cannot teach.
Universe caught in invisible thoughts
of Temples gleam.
