Another quiet springtime afternoon near the stream.
Let the Earth Remain Forever
Let the earth last
And the forests stand a long time
Ayocuan Cuetzpaltzin said this, traveling
The road to Tlaxcala
The road to Huexotzinco
Let field after field
Unfold with brown corn
Flowers of cacao
Let the earth last
Ayocuan Cuetzpaltzin, English adaptation by Peter Everwine.
Poet's Choice by Edward Hirsch, Harcourt. 2006, page 31.
AMEN!
