most amazing passage in all the 1360 books I've read, as the Coyote-Postman descends into the underworld

To deny, to grind the accusation of the earth where he lay sleeping with his reed mat, his shadow, and his woman where he lay buried with his dead ones and his umbilicus, unable to free himself from a serpent of six hundred thousand coils of mud, moon, forests, rainstorms, mountains, birds, and echoes entwined around his body."
