Ritual of the Bacabs, trans. Ámbar Past

Who is its mother?
Glyphs of the skies.
Glyphs of the clouds.

Who is its mother?
And it is said,
Ix Hun Tah Dzib, She of the Great Writing,
Ix Hun Uooh, She of the Glyphs.

The corresponding glyphs
that were together
separated
and so acquired
incantations
from saliva.
