Antigone

+ + +

dig the three-handed antigone

we swept away the dust and exposed
unfortunate corpse full of filth
beautifully curvaceous body
from the hymen that burst
thick stream of bile

exchange mechanism occurs in a certain order

carrion infection
the stench of the city of rebellion
we hear the roar of the crowd
you who broke the law! death
haunts you

if you don’t understand humanly, then we will speak differently

and so -
a shadow fell awry on the face of Antigone
and so -
her right hand is hung in the square
and so -
she eats worms and her hair is cut with a knife
and so -
she is all black

dig, polynic, dig deeper
if I disappear, you know where to look for the roots

entering the cave, they find only a silk belt

Al-Hallaj

mansour al-hallaj cotton comber will
spend eleven years in a Baghdad prison
before the representatives of the law ask him:

what is love?

you will know about it
the next day
and also on the second day
and also on the third day

the next day
they cut off his arms and legs
but all its members continued to whisper

I am the absolute truth
I am the absolute truth
I am the absolute truth

and on the second day
he got his head cut off
but the flowing blood kept on screaming

I am the absolute truth
I am the absolute truth
I am the absolute truth

and also on the third day
they burned his body and scattered the ashes over the waters of the Tigris river
but the ashes of his body wrote the name of Allah on the water

ana-l-haqq
ana-l-haqq
ana-l-haqq

I am the absolute truth
I am the absolute truth
I am the absolute truth
