Arabesque

Image
The figures settle between arabesque carved pillars  their ivory skin obscured loosely by bedlah  snaking tendrils interlace at the palace domes  Damascus hums to the dancers' steps Palmettes and unreplicable perfection  surely these moresque creatures are crafted for exalted eyes a world within a bascilica  and another beyond these foliar-form facades  It is not within one's lifetime to behold such grandeur  as the magnitude of intellectual hegemony what joy it is for our contemporaries to condemn the scholars, praise the dancers--- the exuberance of being silenced forever!
