Epistle Xxiii - Assyrian Choir
(I)
In the
waning luminescence
of Syriac Orthodoxy,
the Assyrian choir,
enmeshed in the
twirling maelstrom of
Aramaic incantations,
cast seismic waves
through the beleaguered
decay of
Damascan alleys
(II)
Their creed,
an unweathered monolith
mimicking the
early Church Fathers,
is the boulder
that continues
to blunt the
sanguineous scimitar of
the Caliphate's domination
