Eid Al-"Are you scared?"






This God doesn't eat your meat. 


Then when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "Oh my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "Oh my father! Do As thou art commanded: Thou wilt find me, if Allah so wills one practicing patience and constancy!" So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice), We called out to him, "Oh Abraham! Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" Thus indeed do We reward those who do right. For this was obviously a trial and We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice. 
(As-Safat 37: 102-107)





On the first of the 4 days of Eid Al-Adha celebrating the story of Abraham (Ibrahim) and the his willingness to sacrifice his son at Allah's request of his most cherished possession (and his sons nod of consent as well), the Muslim world ties ram, lamb, camel, and cow for the ritual of devotion and giving to those less fortunate thats involves killing for meat. Meat, the Ages-old "packed" with meaning Arab-treat. 













Meat Tea

                     "Adam: I'm a creature who ever drinks cognac"                                


Meat Tea

Table of tubes.

Graying Groves and streams.

Lucklessly fastening
Those sharing roots.

Those Sharing Meat and Tea

Suckling high heels.
Dark and lips sweetened.

and

Dead meat, again.
None for peripheral
Girth

But
Goring for masses
Incestual.

To those (the) sleeping well.

The stuffed in folio-
In the backs of Nissans.
