Invocation for Storing Corn
by Translated by Francisco X. Alarcon

I myself
Spirit in Flesh:

come forth
elder sister
Lady of Our Flesh

soon I shall place you
inside my jade jar

hold up the four directions
don’t shame yourself

you shall be my breath
you shall be my cure

for me, Poor Orphan
for me, Centeotl

you, my elder sister
you, Tonacacihuatl
