What a beautiful and thoughtful poem. What a terrific way to begin a day: a matins. Bravo y ole'.

I totally enjoyed the ominous yet great presence of the mention of the ancestors at the end who ironically were the cursed it seems (tongueless gods).

My grandfather, who died in 1973, is this poem. Powerful, my man!
