The vault is quiet Movement,
turning on an axis
inclined toward Polaris,
which marks a point on a cycle of 26,000 years,
which centers at the belly of the Dragon,
Draco,
in the North;
and on the oar of the ship,
Canopus in Argo,
in the South.

Each day of 22 hours
is named for one of twenty symbols
within the circle within the calendar
between the inner world, and the outer.
Each day is numbered by one through thirteen.
The twenty symbols occur in succession
In a twenty day period,
and each day is given a number in succession
from one through thirteen.
*
Thus designations of days follow in order,
as through:
Two flower . . . three alligator . . . four wind . . .
Five house . . . six lizard . . . seven serpent . . .
Eight skull . . . nine deer . . . ten rabbit . . .
Eleven water . . . twelve dog . . . thirteen monkey . .
One grass . . . two reed . . . three jaguar . . .
Four eagle . . . five vulture . . . six earthquake . . .
Seven knife . . . eight rain . . . nine flower . . .
And so on so that within 260 days,
All combinations of sign and number are counted.

Earth spins once on Her axis
In the twenty-two hours
of a single day and night,
The thirteen Lords of Day
And the nine Lords of Night.
Each day of light is signed entirely
By one of thirteen Lords of Day.
Each day of night is signed entirely
By one of nine Lords of Night.
The week of days is 13 days,
Each for a different Lord of Day.
The week of nights is 9 nights,
Each for a different Lord of Night.
Within the 260 day ceremonial cycle of the calendar,
Each of the thirteen Lords of Day
presides over twenty days,
and each of the nine Lords of Night
presides over 29 nights,
with two Lords of Night presiding
over the last night of the ceremonial cycle.

Tongue is the Knife,
for Speech across centuries.
The time of the solar year is 365 days.
The time of the ceremonial cycle is 260 days.
In the time of 52 cycles of the solar year,
The ceremonial cycle turns 73 times.
Thirteen days without name are counted,
The sum of 52 quarter days of leap year time,
Before beginning a new count
Of the 52 solar year - 73 ceremonial year cycle.

The Face through the Center speaks
of the measurement of coordination
in the cycles of our planets.
Who reads this Rock
emerges
from time past
and time future
to find Sound
within the planets
of our solar system.
The difference between yesterday
and tomorrow,
is the alligator eating the fish,
as the end of one cycle of time
meets the beginning of a new cycle.

The Aztec calendar
measures the Movement of our planets,
marking the times of conjunction and opposition.
Within the veil of visible nature,
The world of animal, plant, skull, and the rain,
Is the interior source of life, our heart.
At the summit of the pyramid Aztec
Is division of the light
Of our heart
into fire and water.
The apex of the pyramid Egypt is crystal.
On the plane of the Earth between water and sky,
This body is made of water and air, fire and dirt.
*
The Aztec calendar speaks
through a carved stone face
of cycles of Time on Our Sphere,
and of cycles of regularity
in the Movements
of our solar system.

note: This 59 page sequence of poetic fragments
is partitioned into four sections.
Now begins the second.
__(*)__ __(*)__ __(*)__ __(*)__ __(*)__ __(*)__
Look through Horizon through the Rock,
Through the carved stone face
Which looks in one direction only.
This is the earliest form of the mirror,
The mask.
Wisdom smiles upon We who favor Her.

A cultural heritage is one path of meeting.
Speak with one Voice.
The Ocean and the Desert
entwine We who Listen,
The cells of our Sphere who we are
Dressed in Black, Brown, Red,
Yellow, and White.
Having crossed oceans and deserts
And met in many places,
The path of Our meeting
Shall continue to be
through Speech with True Voice.
Across the Sea of Darkness to the New Day,
Through quiet gray,
through light to dawn,
Time is a memory,
The infinite imagination,
the dream,
And the dream returns to the Source.
