Fingers pressed on the pulse of the soil, inhaling its strength from the connection forged between generations of dead and living souls, lies s(he) face down. The fevered body assailed by zips and zooms of synaptic activity, breathes its pallor into it, desperately seeking shelter within the source that bore its seed.
La il’a ha illAllah -There is no god except Allah …sighs the liver, declaring its faith to the tongue which devours the flesh of the brother.
The forefinger rises to state its testimony against the masturbating neighbour.
Hack!
Justice has prevailed. Neither the perpetrator nor the witness are left standing. One acted, the other spread the word, and hearing him the rest imagined its deliciousness more than the reports proclaimed. They indulged.
Look! There go the monkeys, resplendent in their unknowing bestiality.
La il’a ha illAllah – There is no god except Allah…trembles the down that laces the midriff. The chin upturned that spurned the mendicant bows low this instant. Perhaps the horn will blow now, this very instant!
Afraid yet shameless, the rosary turns, mouthing ambition and gluttony.
The floating kerchief whisks past the head, resting nought till it completes its trajectory to the ground.Propelled by seconds and minutes and days, it pleads “Mercy!”
But once had its soul whispered in its infantile crib, “La il’a ha illAllah – There is no god except Allah”.
For that night of unhindered remembrance and untainted humanness, there came unbounded clemency.
Aspiring for the devotion of that one remembrance, cries the soil to the face pressed in to its bosom,
“La il’a ha illAllah – There is no god except Allah.”
