she

bows her head
her knees are bend
and
her elbows are lower
than her palms
who are open
flat
facing the sky.

she is asking us
who are passing
her
for some thing.

her forehead is touching
the ground
i can't see her face
but her palms are clean
open
facing the sky.

she rests like this
for as long as i can see
her
as i am walking past.

her elbows are lower than
her palms
as she kneels with her heart to the
ground.
the clothes don't match
her hair is hiding under a scarf
but her palms are clean
and they are facing the sky.

her forehead is kissing the ground
she seems comfort
able
and i wonder how the ground smells
how do i our footsteps sound to her
down there
is she praying?

she
bows her head

her knees are bend 

with

her elbows lower

than her palms

who are open 

flat    

reaching

facing the sky

she

and i keep on walking.
