not among the living
They
don’t veer.
Don’t
question
Their Perfect Man,
his connection
to their only God,
younger than Moses’
or that promised Paradise
for those who die as they serve
Him while killing infidels.
1400 years later, it still works
like magic, or,
(what’s the word for it in Arabic?)
hypnosis, a deadly form,
an otherworldly spirit poison
that transforms messengers
in subsonic jets,
convinces them they’re aiming
flying minarets
