84,000 people
were sacrificed
over the course of four days
in the 1480s--
hearts ripped out
with obsidian blades
no neighbors or kin safe
from priests atop pyramids
appeasing a sun god, angry.
Either
they didn't know
a thing about science
or they knew exactly
the nature of man:
There's no substitute
for flesh.
Currently rereading:
"Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame" by Charles Bukowski.
