[Nettime-bold] The Dawn




The Dawn

Lachlan Brown




Osamar

'riding horseback by night

hiding in caves by day'(AP)

fasting for Ramadan

a traveller



113.1":    Say: I seek refuge in the 
Lord of the dawn, 


making 

his way into 

the global imaginary

with a presence more real

enduring 

than the global allied forces 

gathered against him



"113.2":    From the evil of what He has 
created, 



America 

crafted at last

a beautiful disaster

her most lasting

image



"113.3":    And from the evil of the utterly 
dark night when it comes, 



one thousand times 

one hundred thousand 

youths make witness

and memory 

to be with him

or to be like him



"113.4":    And from the evil of those who blow on knots,


Osamar

'riding horseback by night

resting in caves by day'(AP)

a traveller, fasting, 

resting the sleep 

of the innocent

beneath the thunder

over Khyber

on the frontier

between the West 

and the Rest



"113.5":    And from the evil of the envious
when he envies



when it comes to memes

only the most fitting survive.
