looking for a place
to hide
away from questions and comments
stares and sympathies
i stumbled
into a temple
song fell upon ears
words meaningless
numb
stiffness travelling limbs
i sat
motionless
she quietly handed me a foot cushion
our eyes did not meet
a tear pricked
i sat
motionless
with sense of place and protocol
i picked a prayer book
fumbled the pages
she quietly handed me an open book
our eyes did not meet
i sat
motionless
i stepped out
smiled tentatively at the sky
