Poem by Jeff Harrison

NEZAHUALCOYOTL

Nezahualcoyotl
and the mule
advanced

mountains

where they
lost savory grief

accidentally,
both their
throats were
among mules

several little speakings
amidst the brays

part time /

blades coat their throats in throat coincidence

/ yet another
fairly remarkable part of
what's under the fifth sun
of the Five Sun Mythos

and they scarcely characters!
