Prayer and Life

A brief poetic snapshot of faith, routine and everyday responsibility, capturing a moment where spiritual devotion meets the practical demands of life. Friday in Serrekunda.


repeated salutations
“Allah u Akbar” –

sound echoed
up the dusty road.

men prostrated
while she had shopping to do.

a sheepish look
the camera snapped

a random image
her prayer suspended

for who shall purchase
dinner for tonight?
