Picturing Ramadhan

Witnessed bearing witness
In a place of prostration
Meaning Masjid, meaning Mosque
Au Masgid fi Masr
Belly laugh from a brother
Mellow chants from a mother
Or smiling sister
Beads back and forth
In Baba's hands
As he remembers

Warm looks, soft pardons
Homes meet and eat in gardens
Sweet first dates
Jesting mates
Sharing teas and grapes in plastic plates
Where you'll see the brotherhood
In and out of other hoods
The world over
This world's sober now
Grounded, human definition
Prepositions from divine Source
mixed with samosas dipped in fine sauce
Good looks and feelings, what a fine force
