From Lucy to Lenin
red child of the horn
1.
I- born under the spiral a of an ocean wall, star on fire,
city in the bedrock of a sumptuous hearth. The 25th 23rd, 6th, 4th, or 1st- the date of the Nubian’s born after the last empire fell. galaxy blackness spread shot into the anthropomorphous mass, corpus cranium of the modern nation state, i arias of a nuclear Iron Curtain, like aborted captions or the pause before a profound statement, generation born to either ennui or horror, exile emergency. Strangers even to ourselves, in emptiness we sing multiple tribes, confederacy to none.

This under the surface, of several breaks,
the earth tries joy simultaneous- bends
bones too,
death slepted its song over an Orion sky as 88
covered the compass rose like a moon.
I of
gold lakes under sleepy mountains that house
Arks from
alien homelands
the blood and soil
of long forgotten kings
who assailed the Gods and fell
in love
with the trash collectors of Mt. Olympus
I of several tongues like
a dumb babel
I who witnessed the Mahdi,
absent breath and mad, bow furred
brow-ed and humbled to the pebbles
All my boasts-
salute to the Camelot Balkans-
a ghost cut into the cleft lip of history
but nonetheless
invisible
-and so, it is
-Mohammed Zenia-
orphan angel of the student district of
Sofia
whom wrote
the bible
Sanskrit and oil paints
from the vantage point of skyscraper sewage.
*
Mohammed Zenia pushes forward the dead
sun sways east west + drunk with Abdel Raheems’ imaginary son + wishes the
worlds Bedouins a happy narrative
scraps singular the tied skyscraper union + abolishes
all alphabets with a lazy tongue a possible touched head in
séance birth but maybe it’s just the foreign faint + bad fragrance. Abdel Raheem who
begat Rashid is Mohammed Zenias, one or all the above stinks! So Abdel is dead.
Moved Moscow to mourning by jumping open faced over the moon + accidently
crashing adjacent to the Institute of Languages
RASHID is pen to paper + Mohammed’s synopsis when bored + lonely
Zenia Siddig Yu Stink.
(the 1st Sudayni creates a friend)
1.
Shalom
solemn + measured
over the proud land
shared eucalyptuses pine
savored the waterways
shaped deserts
sing myself two by
four
+ forthwith the temple
stone pyramids of moss + 4 loaded
the range rover AK 47 + all
2.
Abdel Raheem + I string the catastrophic
consonants bind abject birth +
EASTERN BLOC
America makes
US nNIGGAS + small towns
GOSSIPS uphold the thesis
we recreate our cousins
white rooms make you
lonely
___________
Beatitude
breath-
my twin!!
The first Sudani made from a kale rib +
from his grasslands sang Wardi
to the other.
1.
Mohammed Zenia is broke the author of this poem +clearly crazy
Rashed Abdel is tirelessly singing Spinoza to the Sufis of
Omdurman + mourning the Sudani Sophie who fell perestroika depression
89′ Moscow skyline. Ahmed is Mohammed in a mirage 2 bar bathrooms on a drinking binge
veteran of jail cells + the county coroner’s office.
2.
3 east African poets sit drunk in an Irish barbershop but let’s focus on 2
All 3 suicidal + gay + then; 2 face 1 triangular mirror
-Sudan Eritrea + Russia like pearl stones or future tablets transcribing genocide
Mohammed Zenia stretched arms over the southwest while Rashid Abdel pondered his dead father
Sudani Zuami messianic recollections of the Danube + Nietzsche’s cruel symmetry
broke windows in Moscow’s clarion moon +
my own dead father Sofia’s graveyard 4 the Turkish invaders. Eritrean
Gannibal argues geometric Aztecs with Pascal under the Marque of bastilles psych ward
gray doors circling back to the confused Caucasian who hate niggers + jews in equal measure anyways; vaguely aware exile will be the burden of 3 countries and a million sons to bear.
3.
And where is Ahmed,
Now that
apostate
nightmare of the state psychiatric hospitals
have fallen
cataract
tongue-less
2 covid?
Pray beads on the crown
of Slauson Avenue
reciting the Agnaw liturgy facing
eastern wall barbed wire +
russian Tel Aviv
Is trying to remove
tiffany Haddish from the hebasha nation
despite N. American Contingents complaints
but they don’t want me either
(and even with Common in line)
is starving in Tigray
slowly going
blind like a hunch back Mahdi or Black Moses stricken pestilence
MEMPHIS TENNESSEE
credit card scamming Rome like
a negro Nero written by Pasolini’s
pillow talk to Mario Mielli
capsized Gibraltar
wound up Romanian concentration
camp wintered
there R nazis lept kamoron 4 Kierkegaard
over the 201stcentury SPELT
Pixels + GUN
but
never an end to adventures + tunicates
till we burn all
The books.
