The Muki, is playful prankster.
He’ll give you gold nuggets
only to turn back into stones.
He’s happy-go-lucky, if he’s
alone.
Perhaps a foot and a half in
height.
Who has very few possessions
besides a pickaxe, and a hat?
He lives in the High Andes of
Peru, usually barefoot or with sandals.
His garments are usually of
wool; he is semi-human, I am told!
They have a village, the Muki,
under the earth, some say in the mines and some say they are bewitched, while
others say very rich.
They live in Junin, and some
have metallic wings.
Under Kaypacha (earth), resides the Mother of Waters, where the Muki
swim among gold and silver columns.
Where in the beginning of the
world ukhupacha (the world below) they learned to live in the
dark world’s shadows.
