Only one sight:
La Illaha Ila Allah Hu.
Only one sound:
La Illaha Ila Allah Hu.
Only this call
As I ferment.
Rolling waves to nurture me,
Last night I was lost at sea,
Only this call, as I remember,
Held any weight at all:
La Illaha Ila Allah Hu,
Who could contend? I know they do
But it is lost into the sand.
I could say:
There is no reality but God.
My voice would fall flat,
Infernal pit of logic: venom and spit.
I lay like a whisper on your breath,
Say Hu:
Contain and contend.
