White gods?
That’s what the story tells
in codex after diary of interpreted accounts.
No. They arrived sick, scared, hungry, lost,
and we took them into Tenochtitlan
We fed them, sheltered them, healed them,
told them of our gods and Quetzalcoatl,
listened to the friar tell of his.
They played god.
We were laughing and dancing to Huitzilopochtli
when they massacred our mothers and children,
warriors scattering stabbed, tripping on entrails, trying to escape,
nowhere to go but face down into a widening pool of blood,
our essence intermingling, disappearing into the Earth.
