Arabic still spoken in Andalusian
villages after 400 years of the inquisition.
Muslim houses in Bosnian villages
with crosses on display
despite the threat of apostasy.

Morning fresh as one –
the Buddha knew–
the flowers of the valley,
the grasses of the plain,
shine with the unbidden light of heaven.
And nothing shall remain
strange in this world:
no revenge, no retribution here,
the future aligned with heavenly ways,
on days to come
the wise fools look at the graves,
on inauspicious days,
with no quarter offered, or taken,
riot, lobby, accuse, condemn,
the faithful seek the blood of men.
Shake off these shades of numerology
Live without angels
Die as men…..
