The Morning Prayer
In a poor Istanbul neighborhood,
At the ground floor of our house,
My great-grandmother says:
It is time for
morning prayer.
If you
pray, she says, pure
as a child,
From this corner
of the room,
An angel will appear.
I am five years old closing my eyes.
Allahü
Ekber.
Essallamü
alleyküm ve rahmetullah.
I am fifty opening my eyes.
In Boston, Massachusetts,
In a not so poor neighborhood
At the top floor of our house
Praying my morning prayer.
From that corner of the room,
My great-grandmother appears.
