Allahu Akbar
eyes stinging dusty nostrils
the camel just blinks
searing Riyadh heat
the slow pace of Ramadan
as the pigeon flies
licking gritty teeth
the call to prayer goes out
how low the sun sinks
light fading fast
words dying in darkness
still the page is turned
Arabic incense
sickly sweet in the hot air
hitting my cold face
listen to this as a podcast
