Our Mountains

Whitney DeVos & Martín Tonalmeyotl

Totepeuan

 

Ipan se xopanokualkan
nopetsouaj ken tokojkoluan.
Kuajchapaniaj imixkuatsontsin uan sa istak niman sa yektle.

Matikintlajtlatakan totepetsitsiuan niman
matikonemilikan kech ueye intlachalis yotikimixtekilijkej.
Maka tej matikintsonuiuitlakan
pampa impan intsontsin, ompa kochej tekolomej,
ompa noxinachuiaj kojchikimolimej,
ompa nokajkalaniaj tokatsitsintin
iuan tsinakamej ipan se tlapoyaua.

•After Reading about Decreasing Snowmelt in the Rocky Mountains

Christopher Hewitt

From the lecture hall projector beams / a phantom glacier, filling the screen with a map of Colorado. / The colorful shading illustrates the decline in annual  / snowfall.

•Earth says

Catherine Carter

I am your mother as the horse / is mother to the louse, endlessly / intricate interlocking systems  / which the blissfully sucking louse / can’t imagine and never must. . . .
