Don’t you think the names are like seeds,

so full of magic, of the unexplored magic?

Huitzilopochtli! – how wonderful! And Tlaloc!

Ah! I love them! I say them over and over,

like they say Mani padma Om! in Tibet.

I believe in the fertility of sound.

Itzpapalotl–the Obsidian Butterfly! Itzpapalotl!

But say it, and you will see it does good to your soul.

Itzpapalotl! Tezcatlipocá!

They were old when the Spaniards came, they needed the bath of life again.

But now, re-bathed in youth,

how wonderful they must be!

Ph : Ruslan Lobanov

There is nothing to save, now all is lost,

but a tiny core of stillness in the heart

like the eye of a violet.

Money poisons you when you’ve got it,

and starves you when you haven’t.
