YA AZIZ
                                                              (INVOKING THE UNBEATABLE)

     The mountain
    is so dominant
   this lump of rock
which pumps ash out:


previous                                                                                                                                                                   next

                          no power in us
                             to stop it:
                       it falls like rain:
                        we cop it:
                    our need to run
             falls dormant
 in awe akin to worship
its too late to recall us
that rock is so enormous,
tower clouded, clout undoubted,
  mounted over us.
