prayer for dzikir as mnemonic device
By Khairani Barokka
 

still all your percussive orbits

and soft-click a thumb

to each third

of each finger

praise

how light

work is, unshirking 

remembrance

vicissitudes plant grief

in skin-pricks,

out of the gasping sun

climbs daybreak

crackling, cyclonic 

core tenets and 99 names

flooding back

to thick bloodstream

memento mori, recuerda tu vida

ingat, ingat,

ingat-ingat
