HOUSE / BAYT
(fragments)
Yâ bayt!
Yâ bayt!
Oh, a verse (of two lines)!
Oh, a house (for the unsettled)!
Oh, a fower bed (of poetry)!
Oh how only would rejoice
(my favorite) philosopher
Gaston Bachelard
how only would, unexpectedly
enrich, his
Phenomenology of fantasy
that Poet-of-space
had he only knew (Arabic)
Dictionary (of Creation)
How many new reveries
of an eye in the eye-house
baytu`l-'ayn
(for an instance)
then of a spider in the spider's
baytu'l-´ankabût
. . .
Because a house
Because a house
bayt
in its being, is
a distich
a dwelling for the pair
(in which is created all that has a soul)
Well perhaps just because of it, even Alllâh Himself
receives as a guest, His creation
in His, cubic
diamond
Makkanian
house
in His
Baytu`lllâh
Oh how would rejoice G. B.
the poet of the reveries from Beaujolais
how would get happy (my favorite philosopher)
had he only knew that in one and the same
word/molecule
bayt
dwell all, the contemplations
of still vagrant, creatures
That into it do settle
all who want to live
in a house
or tent
or palace
or castle
That the same word/molecule
bayt
is a home
dwelling (in general)
(and Noah's) barque
Ark
and a sheath (the house of a sword)
and furniture
