Mohammed’s Self-Portrait

by Chris Butler

Mohammed’s self-portrait,
drawn with invisible ink
on an imaginary canvas,
exists in the minds of Muslims
born without original sin
for seventy-seven virgins
atop a smoky heaven,
emissions from suicide
bomber’s C-4 strapped chest
on a crowded street corner,
all for Allah.
