Antonio Alonso: Aqua Hummingbird snails and the small yellow beak

and the small yellow beak adds a warm

combined with the careful carving of the hands

sleeping underground

ready to sound the deep ceremonial call that once opened sacred rites across Mesoamerica

adding texture and life as if she’s just broken through the ocean’s surface
