Bought

Bought

A Poem by Abdul Batin Osman Bey
"

about a certain day and a certain time

"

I bought a Qur’an

The lady behind the counter said nothing

Not with her voice

But her eyes

Her eyes spoke volumes

Odd

Fear

Standoffish

Silent disappointment

I read the Qur’an

And I fell in love with God agai
