١١] roots of love
once upon a time
the old souq invited me
for a cup of tea
I saw him there, speaking
to his grandchild
who was ashamed
to spend his only penny
on the poorest of poor
and the man smiled
"do not apologize to me
for the love in your heart
that makes you look weak
for when they see you
they make du'a for
the one who raised you
and become curious
of the soil that
holds your roots"
