holy starvation


written in 2005.

"what ritual!
some kind of flagellation?"


“well, it’s just a time we keep
away from food and sex
to ask for more food and sex
and blessings”

holy logic.
comedic crescendos.

“but after lunar fullness,
we resume…”

resume what?
routine madness?!

the rude sun
unleashes hellish spells
on those who buy seasons
to keep god deafened with
bleating supplications.

how easy to impress god!

This is so true of we muslims.
We impress God so much during the month of Ramadan and immediately the month is over we go back to our ways.

I don't know why I feel I'm guilty of this.
