VIVA RAFAH!

Viva Rafah!
o my Omaya!
Fayum? Dayyyuum!
limbs in tow
Limbs, some in twos
limb split in two
The one limb
missing, of the two
Hobnobbin’
the nubby knobs
Of the hoi polloi
of poli, parched
And patched-up
with pitch
States come in twos
Though the one : in-glory
The second :
much-lessened
I reckon –
beckon! To stop getting lessener
Get bestedder
by this maloofa!
Cut in two
in twos, in tandem
Visitors dumped at random
un couple est gens doubles
Limbs in two
legs in two
Legs in threes
in pairs
In separates, all!
a pair : and the one –
The one from some threes :
the threes : meters apart
The coverage of five blocks
the forensic field
Split in threes :
the limbs : they hang
Hang on rebar trees
in threes, in twos
A couple is a double
a couple, doubled-over.
