You suggest playing Pokémon 
cards with the saints, their diversity
and collectible-wide range
passing dry winters in Coyoacán,
a street musician’s distance
from a plaster, huge Christ-child,
ice-blue, genitalia revealed. 
Play in the patio we recognise 
is catching more
specific names, like shiny Blastoises, 
debating baroque 
and gothic architecture, virtues as
     –     if buildings unearth and
make pilgrimage to each other over
continents. The Cathedral Metropolitana was
built on the Tenochtitlan Temple Mayor
you say; sacrifices are necessary 
to keep the sun alive and
the sky bluish. The Spanish hardly understood
when they exhumed the bodies, succulent as
stakes in the earth. Play
Pokémon cards with the saints in Coyoacán,
using a thunder-stone to turn your saint Sebastian
     –     thrumming from love- 
into a Raichu.
