  2. “Grief Over the Fall of a City” Broken spear lie in the roads We have torn our hair in our grief The houses are roofless now, and their walls are red with blood Worms are swarming in the streets and plaza And the walls are splattered with gore The water has turned red, as if it were dyed. And when we drink it It has the taste of brine We have pounded our hands in despair against the adobe walls For our inheritance, our city is lost and dead The shields of our warriors wore its defense, But they could not save it. We have chewed dry twigs and salt grasses We have eaten lizards, rats, and worms Gold, jade, rich clothes, quetzal feathers Everything that once was precious Was now considered worthless.
