Suicide Dictionary Illuminated

Todd Guess just released this illumination of the first sonnet in Suicide Dictionary. For more information, click here.



Tangible angels we are One and All,
Under and over and inside the flesh;—
There is no frontier for World-centric to draw,
If truly world-centric the angel has meshed.

A Stupa was built on the sands of Iran,
Each native said prayers and accepted its worth;
They all remained Muslim and nothing was gone,
But added to Islam was Buddhism's birth.

Allah as a Baby was from Jewish men,
Which leaked to Muhammad who Journeyed at Night;
The Prophet was tested but mastered zazen,
And now simply twirls as a Dervish in white.

A relic of Buddha in Mecca will stand,
When Islamic integrals...open this Land.

-From "Suicide Dictionary" by Paul Lonely
