Because AD wanted
to hear this poem,

00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:06.760 align:middle line:84%
"Further Notes from
the Art Institute,"

00:00:06.760 --> 00:00:16.210 align:middle line:84%
Xipe Totec, Carved Wood
and Human Skin, circa 1450.

00:00:16.210 --> 00:00:20.140 align:middle line:84%
Tonight, dear one,
by the waning moon,

00:00:20.140 --> 00:00:24.070 align:middle line:84%
I will take this jet
shard, keen with mercy,

00:00:24.070 --> 00:00:27.580 align:middle line:84%
along the seam of
your rigorous spine

00:00:27.580 --> 00:00:33.950 align:middle line:84%
and flay a proficient
suit of you for my finery.

00:00:33.950 --> 00:00:37.490 align:middle line:84%
Dear one, your raw
and fecund sinew

00:00:37.490 --> 00:00:41.450 align:middle line:84%
assures my bounty
another harvest,

00:00:41.450 --> 00:00:45.350 align:middle line:84%
another generation of
hands emptied hanging

00:00:45.350 --> 00:00:48.320 align:middle line:90%
like bracelets from my arms.

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:51.080 align:middle line:84%
Your handsome face,
a better countenance

00:00:51.080 --> 00:00:53.120 align:middle line:90%
from my high cheeks.

00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:55.580 align:middle line:84%
I see through the
slats of your eyes.

00:00:55.580 --> 00:00:58.460 align:middle line:84%
I speak incantation
and renewal--

00:00:58.460 --> 00:01:02.090 align:middle line:84%
my tongue aligned
along your lips.

00:01:02.090 --> 00:01:07.190 align:middle line:84%
Do not mourn your blued
and sanguine life elapsing

00:01:07.190 --> 00:01:10.200 align:middle line:90%
along the groove of this blade.

00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:14.670 align:middle line:84%
What is driven through
the veins turns crimson,

00:01:14.670 --> 00:01:18.370 align:middle line:90%
adorns the living with promise.

00:01:18.370 --> 00:01:23.810 align:middle line:84%
Sacrifice preserves
order in the universe.

00:01:23.810 --> 00:01:29.890 align:middle line:84%
I will wear your skin, dear
one, among your own people.

00:01:29.890 --> 00:01:34.770 align:middle line:84%
They will always
mistake me for kind.

00:01:34.770 --> 00:01:36.000 align:middle line:90%
