Balam Ahau
Mounted on horseback with arms across chest
It suddenly
dawned
That Jaguar as
worshipped by the Toltecs
Was an ideal.
A visionary
fusion of all that is noble in ape
And feline alike.
Unmitigated
ferocity plus stealthy mobility
Granted by Totemic beasts;
Unflinchingly
attentive reptile, crafty coyote
Chimeric eclipsed
sun
Whose
illustrious wingspan brightens emblazoned
Against the moon.
Prowling through
mortality with vigilance
Every act
dignified
Growling only
when necessity dictates
Amidst backdrops
espied
Trailing
ziggurat lightning ricochets off
Edges of mind!
