Only to Dream

We only come to sleep,
 
we only come to dream,
 
every each spring of the grass, that is how
 
our making is,
 
it is not true, it is not true that we came to
 
live on the earth,
 
it comes and sprouts, it comes and our
 
heart opens corollas,
 
our body gives out some flowers, it wilts!

-Nahua Literature
