Lay me down
in the shadows
sun-rays hurt me
as they pass through
diminishing the remains
that withers away
Give me some nights
I am going back
to the elements
I feel this universe
so close, me within
where else could
have I been
Hide me now and
the hollow in me
take off my mask
and see the smiling me
I had everything
but you, now
I haven’t got anything
but a parting soul.

~ Nahuatl
