headless form

in the dark of the form a nopal returns

in the soup of the form an arm returns

in the dandruff of the form a tongue returns

in the slot of the form a wind returns

in the shame of the form a poem returns

in the gore of the form a dust returns

in the owl of the form a breast returns

in the heart of the form an eye returns

in the ash of the form a lung returns

in the ink of the form a rain returns

in the beast of the form a shoe returns

in the skin of the form a cave returns

in the face of the form a son returns

in the egg of the form a stone returns

in the leg of the form a skull returns

in the thorn of the form a fruit returns

in the light of the form a knife returns

Tezcatlipoca, en forma de un fantasma cuyo

pecho se abría y cerraba estrepitosamente,

con un sonido nocturno semejante al que se

produce al cortar árboles - Códice Florentino
