Fajr prayer
Sleep disrobes
shyly with the
coyest eyes
Tonight she is early
She takes my hand
and we waltz
kisses my eyelids
my forehead
I am unglued
We are one
lost
I reach for her
before dawn
I feel the warmth
where she lay
She is gone
I wash and bend
to pray
to thankΒ Β
She kisses my eyelids
breathes on
my neck
Has she sensed
that my mind is
with another?
She slips from
the room again
I feel her
close
gone

Note: the Fajr (pre-dawn) prayer is the first of the five obligatory daily prayers in Islam.
