EPIGRAPH: On the chest of Mexico
tablets written by the sun
stairway of the centuries
spiral terraces of wind
anger panting thirst
the disinterred dances
the blind fighting beneath the sun of noon
thirst panting anger
beating each other with stones
the blind beat each toher
the men are crushing
the stones are crushing
within there is a water we drink
bitter water
water that increases thirst
Where is the other water?
