Street of the Dead (Micaotli, from the Nahuatl)
We are of the earth, we are of the dead
It all darkens.
Flowers are cut. We come covered in dust.
The luxuriance of flowers, thy purity
Thy breast stoney lands
Something hidden, something created.
Heaven is worthy of being desired
& the Old God is worthy
Of being possessed. I run pursuing it.
Feed my sheep for me.
Micaotli (Street of the Dead)
Titlalloque, ticoquioque

Xochiteco. Titeuhyotiuitzc.
Icelica in xochitl, mochipauaca

Tlainayalli, tlachiualli.
In ilhuicatl ca neicoltiloni
Yuan in Huehueteotzin
Ca necuiltonoloni. Nictototca.
Xinechintlaqualtili in nochcauan.
