Aztec Summer
The Mexican midsummer sun
beamed down mercilessly, vertically,
so that men's heads and shoulders glowed
but their faces, and every human expression,
disappeared, dark and intense in the radiant noon,
and their bodies were illuminated 
only for a moment at a time
with the pounding of arms and legs.
From almost as...

In the museums we shudder
With vicarious delight
At the spectacle of the Aztecs -
A high culture founded on human sacrifice,
All the while not seeing -

Now we reverentially bow the knee

The Aztec Empire
THE AZTEC EMPIRE
Once so high and mighty
A symbol of power and glory
Fearless in combat of fists and arms
Causing harm became a norm
Over their enemies their dominance displayed
Rising from the ranks a warrior was raised
Like a god in mortal form he was so praised

Teotl Shining Through
Teotl is the shining gold light above everything 
Wearing a mask of white and grey clouds 
Teotl is the breath and wind of all seen and unseen 
Greeting all who return to its arms 

Split a piece of wood, hear a heart pulsating within 
Lift...
