Blessed be my fallen mothers, Sontag, De Beauvoir, Aunt Fatima, 1969, and other obituaries to the peace sign.

Blessed be the Holly Pope, Spinoza,
Eli Eli ana.
Eli Eli huna.
Deus es Ego.
Deus sive Natura.

Blessed be thy holly water,
When holly death befalls my children in nomad land.

Blessed be my forefathers, Imru' Al Qais, Khalid ibn Al Waleed, Persis, Alexander, Marx.

Blessed be the human village, the torment, ostracised to the peripheres, the artist, the junkie, my father, drunken on Brothel Street, Manama Town.

Blessed be the semites, my brethren; Don't rattle my cage lest my demons devour you!

Blessed be the gods, the mystics, the whisperers, Emily Dickinson, Erlkönig, who prophecy
Of what sunrise catastrophies await the dawn of man.

Blessed be my comrade, Ibn Rushd, Averroes,
Naṣartuka fastanṣartu bika.
Rejoice, brother, God is dead; We have won our war.

Goliath coming, son,
Blessed be the gatekeeper, the shepherd, the Anglo-Saxon chants of unimaginative men.
Blessed be the teacher, the mortician, the weary-eyed, sundown professor,
Who would rather fellate the emperor from dusk till dawn,
But not to speak a word of truth or to tell him he stands bare.

Blessed be the warrior, the truth, the poet.
Blessed be the pain, the watcher.
I am the rage of Ra. I am the eye of Horus.
Blessed be the womb—my home—the forest.
I am the love of Venus. Blessed be my name.
