"The time has come for dawn, for work to be completed, for those who nourish and sustain us to appear, the enlightened sons, the civilized people; the time has come for the appearance of humanity on the surface of the Earth".

Man .. in Quiche
A strange sight in Santiago Atitlan ....
"How it pains me,
The silence of my Ancestors
Who, little by little
Were stilled,

Of the unknowable stars.

Their voices extinguished
As my fire
Hidden by night
Only to be put out
By the rains
And their steps
Almost erased like obscure
