when evening azan brings dusk tumbling
down like playful children somersaulting
and i don t know what we re at –
if it s the end or beginning of something

out of which you ve sent us a beguiling parcel
the postman hands over ceremoniously –
the wrapping torn off flutters away like sparrows
and i am holding in my hand a shiny ceramic brick –
