Appear Amid the Question
a Pyramid, my answer...
In the Tomb of Inscriptions
it was said to me
"...show a count, of seven, four, one, and three..."
So I wrote them down as traditionally,
one easy step makes a year you can see...
7 x 4 x 13 = 364, plus 1
but seven days, four seasons, and 13 moons
were just too easy... this riddle would tease me
Then there upon the top most floor
I heard an entry through the temple door...
"...this way..." echoed "ever more!"
So I wrote them down to move them around
until they made sense to me... this 7, 4, 1, and 3...
Nine levels, four sides, and the steps for counting...
They don't amount to the sounds I'm seeing
"... four bacab and a pair of twins..."
four bacab support everything...
the 7, 4, 1, and 3...
I wrote them again so that I might see
where they've been...
7 4 1 3
7 4 3 1
1 3 4 7
3 1 4 7
Nine levels, four sides, and four threes within...
741.............................3
741........................3
147..................3
147............. 3
1776 and 12 = 21312 = bacab
... so why the dating in a score of thirteen?
this is
to be
