ALLAHU CIPHER SONG
To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavensAnd all the beings there are upon the earthLike my arms and each hair and finger on themAnd my two eyes and all the worlds they seeAll they’ve seen wherever my feet have beenEach and all belong to me and I to all of themEvery blessed and profane…

MOUNT TOMORR
His is a fearsome face, sharp and disfigured, rocks assembled to conceal the absence of god, while we terrified monkeys flee to His stony skirt, clutching at its substantiality, even as an all-consuming hidden hole opens just on the other side. He loomed here long before I became aware, I just a blind protrusion of…

ALPHABET OF THE GOD TO COME

THE FOURTH GENERATION
At this too-late stage, I see the folly of my work, and I can only beg for your forgiveness, with full awareness that no apology can possibly absolve me for what I’ve done. I was born in 1932, the year that the atom was split. From my childhood, it seemed like the world was the…

The He of this verse is allah, or the gathering, and the creation established by this gathering is the assembly, which is not a fixed entity, but rather a continuous process of confluence and contention among the multitudes of…
