About Me

I'm a teacher, poet, novelist and artist living in the Appalachian Foothills. While I'm not using my real name on this site, I am using my family's ancestral name in honor of my great-great-grandfather. I have always been interested in Meso-American poetry and culture.

Aztec Poems

I have no joy, I have no gladness,

The earth does not fill me.

I have suffered sorrows in the world.

The earth has only been lent to us,

Tomorrow, or the day after

The giver of life will beckon us to his home.

 -------------------------------------------------

Is it true that we have come to live upon the earth?

Are we to live on earth forever?

Only a fleeting moment here!

Even the precious stones crumble,

Even gold cracks and breaks.

Even the shining feathers are torn.

Are we to live on earth forever?

Only a fleeting moment here!

 --------------------------------------------------

Have you grown weary of your servants?

Are you angry with your servants?

O Giver of life?
