Crimson crosses blaze blue
Zapotec sky,
illuminating shadows.
Cosmic patterns radiate
celestial tunes that soothe the spirit,
heavenly melodies rich with cosmic symbols.
Dusted with stars and swirls,
delicately painted in silver,
interplay of heavenly bodies
eclipse in array of color.
Crescent moon, stars, sun rising above clouds....
