the nahuatl fire gods
are kittens and cats named after
rice and beans which are in turn
named after roosters, roosters, roosters
which call one to rise at ungodly times
after a couple of peaks
it becomes clear how wind and rocks
might sweep one towards the volcanoes
regardless of danger or desire
the fire gods call
and the cats yowl
and the roosters crow
and they all need food to live
