behind ┇ so many veils she waits ┇ he knows she does she must she does
so many ┇ perfumed rooms through which ┇ beyond the smoke of never was
he stretches ┇ xochiquetzal borne ┇ to find among the ashes there
a want behind ┇ so many veils ┇ of mad desire and
despair
Xochiquetzal, eh: one of my favorite Aztec goddesses and well-woven into the poem. Excellent.
Thank you.
Strong. Just casually referencing Xochiquetzal.
I had to look it up but, my oh my, what a lovely piece of work!
