see a bullet hole

within it there is

"Under the entrance's
vaulted ceiling
there is a camera
metallic eye with no
lids or lashes. Cursed
is photography with its
mechanical brain, and demonic
cinema. I saw: Authority transformed into an ape-like adolescent, curly hair turned
into chains, and his mouth sealed
with iron. 1/2

"Searching for a bubble of

quietness

I landed on the Milky Way...
it was a highway of noise

when they drill a hole in
my memory
the streets break down

when I pick up the pieces
two cars

explode

at the intersection of my brain and
my neighbor's stereo

subways roar at each other"

without being a voice

When the song roae from a

" THE SEVENTH RETURN

Gone: Bad Chaker el Sayyab
gone: Badr and the moon

Sealed in Matter
I worship

who under the guillotine
opens her large eyes
over her sculpted body
to dream of grass and
prairie...

Eat, hangman, eat,
absorb her flesh's sickness"-etel adnan
