The Receiving Of The Flower Poem by Michael Burch

The Receiving Of The Flower



(excerpt from a Mayan love poem, translated by Michael R. Burch)

Let us sing overflowing with joy
as we observe the Receiving of the Flower.
The lovely maidens beam;
their hearts leap in their breasts.
Why?

Because they will soon yield their virginity to the men they love!
