II

To Manchua you carr[y]ied me

Your footprints in the sand

My words in your voice

That stirred fresh life

Whose shadow brought me

To darker plains

that shield

From shuddering light

Once blinding had struck

Not friendly flame

But terrible sheets

That flashed their frozen eyes

Like clinging children

Warm corners of heat

Cleaned up and brightened

For static reflections shin[es]ing back

And echoes that catch on marble pillars

Like la ilaha ilallah
