for positive inputs
(a - z^2 - x - 1)^2 + ((z + 1)^2 - a - y - 1)^2 = 0

this is the diophantine intersection at a value of

D(a, x, y, z) := (a - z^2 - x - 1)^2 + ((z + 1)^2 - a - y - 1)^2

to transform it to allow the entire integral domain
it becomes

D(a_0^2 + a_1^2 + a_2^2 + a_3^2 + 1,
x_0^2 + x_1^2 + x_2^2 + x_3^2 + 1,
y_0^2 + y_1^2 + y_2^2 + y_3^2 + 1,
z_0^2 + z_1^2 + z_2^2 + z_3^2 + 1)

and i use the modified putnam-adler polynomial

P_D = a(1 - D^2) - (t^2 + u^2 + v^2 + w^2)D^2

whose range should be deny(n^2)
including all negative integers

in other words

P_D = (a_0^2 + a_1^2 + a_2^2 + a_3^2 + 1)(1 -
((a_0^2 + a_1^2 + a_2^2 + a_3^2 + 1 -
(z_0^2 + z_1^2 + z_2^2 + z_3^2 + 1)^2 -
x_0^2 + x_1^2 + x_2^2 + x_3^2)^2 +
((z_0^2 + z_1^2 + z_2^2 + z_3^2 + 2)^2 -
a_0^2 + a_1^2 + a_2^2 + a_3^2 + 1 -
y_0^2 + y_1^2 + y_2^2 + y_3^2)^2)^2) -
(t^2 + u^2 + v^2 + w^2) .
((a_0^2 + a_1^2 + a_2^2 + a_3^2 + 1 -
(z_0^2 + z_1^2 + z_2^2 + z_3^2 + 1)^2 -
x_0^2 + x_1^2 + x_2^2 + x_3^2)^2 +
((z_0^2 + z_1^2 + z_2^2 + z_3^2 + 2)^2 -
a_0^2 + a_1^2 + a_2^2 + a_3^2 + 1 -
y_0^2 + y_1^2 + y_2^2 + y_3^2)^2)^2

which probably could be simplified some...

i once dreamt of a circle of sufi men

the kiraathane stank of flavored tobaccos
sweat
sandalwood
smoky and lively with animated talk

dervishes spun around the circle
unintrusive

dreamlike distant and separated
a decomposition of the components of the scene

they were talking about war
and reasons
and the benevolence of the one god of all religions
and they spoke a rough and eastern turkish
which i could only sometimes discern

one young kid
repeatedly startled by the eloquent descriptions of his elders
kept asking "why?"
"why?"
as if the forms of human murder
were a source of perpetual surprise

the circle
animated
would elucidate and illuminate
each in their limited way
and stutter and pause
as they searched each for furthur astonishments

one elder would fill in at these pauses
"intikam!" he would snarl
retribution
vengeance
retaliation

"intikam." he would say
shaking his head or making a fist or such

and i could feel the rhythm of the room
and the rhythm of the wars
waves of dervish twistings
splashed across these waves of vengeance

afront at past wrongs
to justify the wrongs of tomorrow

i could feel the coldness in the heart
the burden these men bore
facing intikam with the weight of their monovalent aims

it was a sad dream
because it made me see a monster in the mirror

retribution and revenge

justice and karma
causes only justifying effects

perpetuating wars

living
feeding off hate

..

and if there is a never day when the accounting ceases...
if there is never a day when the past is absolved...

carrying threat into the future...

i awoke and dressed defensively
a mexican dress
heavy and bright

i had no gods that morning
not even the ones i regularly hid from myself

not even the black flag i glanced at twice
fast in its usual position on the wall
