Cosmovisión
“En un principio, toda agua (o sangre) que circula
en el mundo proviene del mar, de la diosa madre que
se (auto)sacrifica arrojándose contra la roca blanca
de San Blas para revivir como el rocío y las nubes
que se levantan al cielo”
—El agua en la cosmovisión wixarika, Johannes Neurath
It was a woman first—
Marvelous in depth and majesty
Where water blends with the sky
Oh the motion of the clouds
(inhale exhale)
the Earth takes in a breath—
its soul
The Earth was young and tender
Innocent as she was—
Still warm from the womb
White steam—
Our human and serpent Mother
Lifeforce in one entity
Mother is staring into the east
The ancestral Gods know it
She breaks against herself
