AZTECS

 

In the museum there is a flint knife named

Mictlantecuhtli who rules the underworld

And one named Tlaloc who tells the rain

It is time to fall and a third whose name

Has been lost; some think it's never had one. 

If your soul was unwillingly liberated

By Mictlantecuhtli you might have found

An administrative position among the dead.

Tlaloc-taken souls run errands on Earth

During the winter rains. Souls freed 

By the third and sharpest flint knife must wait 

For the day it finds its name.
