songs Dylan never wrote
​
Jonah:
“And his love was lost in the fury of his deep prophetic rage…
He went out to save the world. That when he lost his mind.
He was a madman telling perfect strangers how to live their lives”.
[Because of its stark moon-like features and desolate beauty, the Rwenzori Mountains in
Uganda is known to the people of that region as the Mountains of the Moon.
In 1976 a group of primarily Israeli travelers were held prisoner at Entebbe airport in Uganda
in the shadows of the Rwenzori mountains after their airplane was hijacked].
Mountains of the Moon:
“They came from out of nowhere. You were not prepared.
They were hiding in that blind spot where your nightmares disappeared…
The moonlight looked like silver on the blackness of the sea.
The airplane flew in silence on the angle of death’s wings”
Holy Beggars:
Out of history’s ashes. Out of history’s flames.
36 just souls. No one knows their names.
[A chamsin is hot, dry, dusty wind in North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula that blows from the south or southeast in late winter and early spring. It often reaches temperatures above 104 F and it may blow continuously for days at a time]
Chamsin:
A hot dry wind in the dessert blows relentless in the night.
A serpent’s waiting by the door, wearing a disguise.
