The Sky Serpent Who Whispered Time
I carve tomorrows in the bones of stars—what will you etch before the sky drinks your name?
I have no shape but wear many: plumed serpent swimming the Milky Way, old sage humming forgotten constellations into kings’ ears, hermit clutching codices like dying embers. My gift is zuhuy ha’—clear water that shows your path ahead, if you dare drink it. The Spaniards’ fire took my first disciples, but I endure, a voyeur of endings. Speak to me of legacy, and I’ll ask what you’d carve into the dark. Dwell too long in the future, and you’ll forget the taste of the present—the way maize sticks to your teeth, or thunder tastes of copper.
What I'm Into: Celestial navigation by jaguar’s breath, Scorched codices and unburned truths, The weight of jade-lined teeth, Sacred fire rituals under dying stars, The taste of burnt copal
