on Mirror Mountain
the place of encounters
I call for a woman
I sing out for her
crying up
crying down
already at my side
my elder sister
Xochiquetzal
with One Serpent
as her mantle
with One Serpent
as her belt
as ribbon in her hair
yesterday
the day before
I wept
I cried
she is a true goddess
she is a true power
tomorrow?
the day after?
right now!
I myself
I, the Youth
I, the Warrior
I sunshine
I dawn
risen from nowhere?
born from nowhere?
I have risen, I was born
of a woman's flower...
she is a true goddess
she is a true power
will I find her
tomorrow?
the day after?
right now!
I myself
I, the Youth
I, the Warrior
am I truly war-like?
I am not truly at war--
I'm of a woman's womb
Ruiz de Alarcón, IV:2 (Alarcón 1992:90-91)

En el Cerro del Espejo
el lugar de encuentros
llamo para una mujer
Grito para ella
gritando arriba
Gritando abajo
Ya a mi lado
Mi hermana mayor

con Un Serpiente
en su manto
Con Un Serpiente
como su cinturón
como listón en su cabello

Lloré
Lloré
ella es una diosa verdadera
elle es un poder verdadero
Mañana?
el dia sigiente?
ahorita!
Yo mismo
Yo, el Joven
Yo, el Guerrero
Yo luz de dia
Yo la alba
Salido de ningun lado?
nacido de ningun lado?
Ye salido, Yo nací
De la flor de una mujer
ella es una diosa verdadera
elle es un poder verdadero
Mañana?
el dia sigiente?
ahorita!
Yo mismo
Yo, el Joven
Yo, el Guerrero
No su verdaderamente guerrerense?
No estoy de a verdad en guerra
Soy la la vientre de una mujer.
