La Veo
Was it a hallucination,
or did a god really call my name?
From the deep night
I was awoken by the roar of Coatlicue.
Her glowing yellow eyes burrowed
into my mine, igniting my mind.
The brown scales of her serpentine heads
glistened, slithering through
my quiet thoughts.
My fear made my head turn from her,
afraid of possible sacrifices asked of me.
She drew closer,
muttering in a language my mouth was meant to taste.
What warnings were whispered into my mortal ears?
What teachings did I miss?
Still, she is calling, and I don’t know how to answer.
For now, I light candles
and speak to shadows, hoping it is her.
I need this more now than I ever have.
I am lost in the blur between this world
and theirs.
Hungry to know everything
that was once lost.
