hm, I really like the ending of "the west reopened" And there are a lot of interesting phrases there...

Otherwise it seems to a smidge off grammatically, and needs punctuation.

I always thought Xibalba was a cool concept for an underworld. The Mayans were quite interesting. I loved the title and the rest of the poem as well. Again, not everything registered but why worry?

You have the ability and finesse to impact me with so few words.
Thank you.

Being passive, rarely do pieces of writing really intrigue me, this one dooes. To coin the phrase "it is short, but sweet", I widh I had such a way with words.

THat was beautiful! It was simply enchanting, but as I didn't hear about this *exquisite Mayan mural discovered in Guatemala* so I didn't really get it, I'm assuming you're describing the mural in this poem? I love your imagery!
