The Silhouette of the Hijab

The Silhouette of the Hijab, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

an ethereal garment
on the soul of winds
it pervades
always at the muslim
womans aid
the hijab
the muslim woman
two sides
of a single coin
god made
a spectral
moment
light and shade
the only garment
in all its spirituality
the west is afraid
wanting to ban it
burn it a racist
thought to trade
