Innocence – Isra Hassan
After genesis, Muslims hear the adhan twice.
The birth. Then, conducted by death, the rebirth.
The adhan comes as a vision. A confession.
It washes over you. It swears to you, this
enlightenment, that your soul has, exists.
Devotion – Isra Hassan
Certitude stowed in geodes, stowed
in embryos, stowed in a Tribute’s
uterine space. Perhaps this where
the voices of ancestors convene.
