"adjusting"

you are reposing in my sun's rays whilst i dwell in your veiled shadow crying, crying at the uneven corner dissecting the shade's size and shape questioning the necessary adjustments with life's amplified tape measure. you smile beautifully at my dimensions you are eating from my life's banquet bearing witness to my spiritual recovery, prostrating before my alluring magnetism giving unforetold foreign salutations as a sixth tongue is taught and mastered. notice the fingers on allah's right hand as handprints touch the chair's gilded lip. you are teaching my impatience patience, my constant stirring to calmly unwind, my tears to softly laugh and smile my fluttering heart to be still and taste the knowledge. you seem at peace whilst i, i am at war with my skin's battleship.
