Uns al-Wudjud se echo a llorar - threw himself at a princess moon, white pure as night tricks to a halt, only reveals what stocking lit imagination knows - at stake are classical melodrama, primed heroics. al-Wudjud gushes. One thousand and one years before the divorce of heart and heel, Uns al-Wudjud gushed before a hermit on the sea and God - ensalzado sea. Then, God was a gate keeper, the owner and developer of nature of civilization. Like Francis de Sales and Lightnin' Hopkins after him, al-Wudjud knew suffering made the most beautiful architecture of the soul. Even if he needed to spill his intestines across a rock jagged beach, al-Wudjud knew God is, was and he never had it all that bad.

San Pantaleimon swallowed pomegranate seeds seeds resewn by San Isidro - set his blood in reliquary glass to bristle anew for the sake of the plough. The chips of bitter bone embedded in blood swollen lanterns, a mouthful will fill a bowl enamel white with red liquid answers. Everyone around me grew sick as a pig - I had to carry them home. Never saw crystal blood flow warm, never bathed in Valencia or further south where oranges, mangled, and pigs' throats fill the lanterns that dim snakepit bars toward dusk. A long gargle of chestnut paste, the most dry aluminum later, saw me fevered sleep on the red clay floor of a frozen friend. She was swallowing three languages, choking in one man's Ibiza sunset, swishing two Moroccan mothers in her mouth, skin a new hue of almond husk, orange peel and pomegranate juice. It was no season of catastrophe, yet we never returned after the pilgrimage we took in prior years to lift a healthy fig tree up to the sun.
