Notes

1 This valley before you, fiery atelier// volcanic factory, all heights// is today the gigantic architecture// of former fury and today’s quietude.

2 According to Castro (1961), both the Nahuatl tlacuache and the Maya och can be etymologically traced to the concept of “food” or “feeding.” In Nahuatl, tlacuatl, a generic name to designate a small, insignificant critter, can be interpreted as ‘one who feeds’, mirroring the possum’s ability to survive off a very diverse diet, including human food and refuse. The modern tlacuache would then come from the honorific tlacuatzin.
