On Pickthall's Al-Koran

As chatoyant.

As a black rock from out of cobalt sky. Sky root. Cling at. Submit to. Past any knowing or known unknowns. Torn from Allah-Void. Burning. Shifting colors. Wall.

Human limit. Words to mull, not to find a final thought in. A hot wind from past days now dark. Its dry aroma. Its nomad tasks.

Airt. Gnarlyhood. Light.

Cubi XVII.

Lift a shard.
