The first time.




Through the glass doors
Hesitant steps
Doubtful eyes


Oh, pretty hijab. And shirt.
Whoa, simmer down the stress.
Damn girl, too loud!


Finally,
I found you.


I am walking, but
in my head, I am running
as if returning
from a war zone.


Face to face we sat
Bags unloaded
Urgency filled the air
And a feeling bloomed-
one I never knew
existed.


At home, at ease
All safe and sound.
