Whistling in Koranic Wind
“We will meet in the Paradise of free souls to which you will never have access.” ~ Antoine Leiris addressing the islamists who murdered his wife, Helène Muyal
Helène Muyal
A sentiment so lovely must be true.
At least the part of us some call the soul
Is desperate to believe it. In the blue
Of poetry’s high altitude, North Pole,
And curtains of auroras, some such dream
Or vision might persist, but this presumes
Immortal spirits and some arching scheme e
Effecting their salvation, angel plumes,
Etcetera. The islamists with nail
Bombs claim just such a paradise. The French
With secularity have only pale
Poetic prose to stop such sacred stench.
..But what we have, we have, enduring in
….Mere moments, truer than islamic sin.
Antoine Leiris
