ayin yodh nun, lamed shin, dalet vav dalet:
the eye of david, what also be known as:
  the curse of solomon.

we have passed the gate of ridiule,
we no longer speak
of the star of david,
but the "shiva" eye of king david.

hide your vowel, hebrye,
while you still can!
           hide them!
    
hex upon the eye with five
coordinate mourn,
the sixth, in travesty,
thus toward the four
      "syllables" conform
and leave the last,
minding frame,
the fifth coordinate,
allow life to be:
                      sustained.

what are these but the couplings
of islam in solomon's as the father of islam,
take then your waking hour,
and see into it, as best you might,
for king david's star within the hex...
was but the eager eye, waiting
to be opened...

i have no jew in my blood,
but i certainly have a jew
chronicle,
    imbued with & in my bones...
that i might witness
the "star" of david,
turn itself into an *eye
...
  and witness a god,
peering upon this world,
while i might add:
  i looked for his signature,
rather than his being...
and i noticed it, the signature,
and was left reminded:
           of man who sought
the being, and ignored the sigature,
who came back into this world:
empty handed.
