G.. is Akbar!

Does the muezzin from the minaret of Qoutoub-Minar
look up or

whose newly-ordered cosmos

Dear Siblings Three,

At least three of us four
have survived this first round
of sharing our seeing Reds 
and our feeling Blues.

At this point
I imagine our eldest sister
reading with interest,
and/or possibly contempt,
and holding all these things
in her heart and mind.

The other three of us,
two Blue,
elder brother Red,

just as yeast is not the entire evolutionary journey for bread,
and the Way may be part of, but not the entirety of,

We might discern diverse scales 
for describing omnipotence 
of CreatorGod

with Her divine lights and clouded winds

where God dwells
when not choosing to incarnate
in anthrocentric forms
and functions,

The flames
leaped and laughed
and licked at my skin.

And yet you didn’t save me.

The house
crumbled and crackled
and around me caved in.

And yet you didn’t save me.

Unclean!
Unclean! you cried
and watched the ashes spin.

Now it’s too late to save me. 



In response to “A Short History of Judaic...

Too seldom tolerated,
much less explicitly noticed
by Christian theologians,

This historical interplay
at work and play
in Jesus of Nazareth's
recent post-colonization day,

When Jewish Rabbi Elders
were squished inside
Roman WhiteMale Dominant
empire-building denial
of their own win/lose subjugation
defying Judaic empowering culture

Rather recently overwhelmed
by Western and Northern sex-cult

Negligent grooming habits unbridled
