He who made the sun and the moon warned the Taínos to watch out for the dead. In the daytime the dead hid themselves and ate guavas, but at night they went out for a stroll and challenged the living. Dead men offered duels and dead women, love. In the duels they vanished at will; and at the climax of love the lover found himself with nothing in his arms. Before accepting a duel with a man or lying down with a woman, one should feel the belly with one’s hand, because the dead have no navels.
ZOMBIES??? Also interesting to see how gender dynamics had evolved by this time; if you met a dead dude you gonna FIGHT and if its a dead gal you gonna FUCK. A clear distinction between genders and an established gender binary, at least in this example
