I rise from the Earth's inside
and feel Coyolxauhqui shatter
into my skin

Soy una cascara
stitched with seeds
my ancestors planted
for me

I wither and fall like the cotton flower
and rattle as I journey back
to the mad underground
under me

Bajo de la tierra
I find a fragmented tapestry
with fringes soft
as the silks of corn

Bajo de la tierra
encuentro mi corazon
una cascara
painted with colors in
a disjointed color scheme

Bajo de la tierra
encuentro que soy unica

I am one
running
in different colors
