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!
