Sitting in Tasleem,

I slowly lower my shoulders.

Guiding my head and my chest

With my arms,

And a slight twist.

Gently sliding across the cool laminate floor,

The cold touch calms, for a few seconds, the thumping in my right temple.

I let out a silent sigh.

In this dark room,

I focus on the swift shadows of feet shuffling along the light,

Breaking through from under the door.

I am alone

With my Lord,

And my pain. Gnawing at my legs, my back, my shoulder, my arms.

This is our quality time.
