The Nile River seems like standing still;
But is actually continuously running, continuously promising.
By day, by night;
Depositing on its shores sands and rocks and debris.

Pulsating stench sneering from gutters

Earth trembling
it's cold out there
even with that sun
strung up high
sun is hanged

Allahu Akbar

shrilling

Allahu Akbar

sniveling

Allahu Akbar

swooped down...
