What shall follow are non-chronological segments of a tale whose
authenticity you will have the presumed audacity to pass upon. Take
heed that you do so wisely, neither out of incredulity nor spite.
Otherwise your lot may fall, as did mine, upon countless ages of
unrequited good works still yet to satiate the pressing need to make
amends to Gods your awareness still waits to apprehend...well.
Canto I
In the land of terraced stone pyramids pointing to an ever
blood thirsting sun...
I am Quetzechoatl.
He who rides upon the Plummed Serpent, thought to mark one
Ending its New Beginning.
But I am not.
These people call me that, that I would be but another part
of what they paint their dreams
Relentlessly:
The copper smell of endless steaming blood tracing down altar
blood grooves
to mix with oceans.
No, I have come to offer new metaphors for what they make of
the Meanings
that frame their Works.
And I will either set them free of this blood fever or.....
present them with new masters
that will.
It is only at such times and for such Purpose I come to Fallen host,
cast out island planet
where failed souls
suffer aimlessly
to try purpose
well.

Additional Notes:
I intend this to be but one Canto of many. I may present some of the
others here, but not all. Even though the "tale" is not complete without
them.
