Apotheosis by Hoist
it is time we begin
careful to ask permission
lau Samahat Baba
clear in intent
rolling him left and right
al yassar al yamin
indrawn breaths
twisted face
mawjou3
we take responsibility
for his pain apologise
anna assif Baba
marshal him
direct his few stunts
la Baba
fold his hands
in benediction
min fadlack
ululate in worship as
his ascension begins
