"The Chrestomathies
of Omecíhuatl--

00:00:05.590 --> 00:00:08.290 align:middle line:90%
Giver of Life."

00:00:08.290 --> 00:00:11.080 align:middle line:84%
"I have tasted both
womb and shaft.

00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:13.870 align:middle line:90%
My body bore their tides.

00:00:13.870 --> 00:00:17.830 align:middle line:84%
Why do our lips mortar
against grace and confession--

00:00:17.830 --> 00:00:20.620 align:middle line:90%
the boundaries between?

00:00:20.620 --> 00:00:25.105 align:middle line:84%
Within us, how does name giving
birth the hour, the hours open?

00:00:25.105 --> 00:00:27.710 align:middle line:90%


00:00:27.710 --> 00:00:33.710 align:middle line:84%
We named water to your
body where our bodies were.

00:00:33.710 --> 00:00:36.140 align:middle line:90%
Opened, you taste it.

00:00:36.140 --> 00:00:38.150 align:middle line:90%
The wound salts.

00:00:38.150 --> 00:00:41.060 align:middle line:84%
The nape of the pure
mouth hungering,

00:00:41.060 --> 00:00:44.390 align:middle line:84%
the tremor across
the opalescent.

00:00:44.390 --> 00:00:48.920 align:middle line:84%
Death enters between
language and autonomy.

00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:56.610 align:middle line:84%
My love, darkness sings
water unto, unto water.

00:00:56.610 --> 00:01:03.450 align:middle line:84%
But you said, no water veils, no
narrative wrapping the flower.

00:01:03.450 --> 00:01:07.860 align:middle line:84%
I say, sharpen the knives
against the stone's heart,

00:01:07.860 --> 00:01:14.070 align:middle line:84%
gut its guilt, measure the
length, the shell of our body.

00:01:14.070 --> 00:01:17.010 align:middle line:90%
But would you return me?

00:01:17.010 --> 00:01:20.730 align:middle line:84%
I would return winter's
fall from frost, the organ

00:01:20.730 --> 00:01:22.410 align:middle line:90%
from pulse.

00:01:22.410 --> 00:01:27.510 align:middle line:84%
Love, your death praises
wholeness on our altar--

00:01:27.510 --> 00:01:31.580 align:middle line:84%
its door unlocking
our human space."
