A Moche burial site discovered recently in Peru revealed an ancient society thought to be led by queens who practiced ritualistic infanticide.
Lady of Cao, awake.
Your crypt is transgressed.
Do you hear the desert wind?
It keens as mother weep.
Lady of Cao, open your onyx eyes.
Where has your kingdom gone?
It is barren as your desiccated heart.
LADY OF CAO, witness your edict!
Do you behold the bundled babes:
mute sacrifice at your feet?
LADY OF CAO, you’ll not be exhumed.
You are entombed deep in earth’s womb
sharing forever your bed with your dead.
No cruel queen, you shall not survive
this bloody archive.
