Muezzin

David Bellamere

You hopped into bed,
But your hymen is on the table.
Never mind, Allah be praised.
There is more than one way to skin a cat.
Peel an orange and feed its slices to me.
I have a minaret, get hold of its charms,
Be my muezzin,
While the rainIs pouring out in the street
And folks are keeping indoors
For their prayers.
- Murat Nemet-Nejat
