Rufino Tamayo Museum of Pre-Columbian Art
Oaxaca, Mexico

Stone
and clay
in the heat
of three thousand years…
Traveling
backwards
and forwards
beneath
gazing eyes
of flesh and dust…
Breathing
stories lost,
remnants
spiraling into form,
windows
and doors
of a culture forgotten,
awakening
and opening
for a moment
remembered.
