The Hijab Up Close

The Hijab Up Close, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

only her eyes
the silhouette
of her nose
a poem
on the street
i froze
the hijab
beauty
in repose
covering
her form
a garb of
modesty
from head
to toe
its essence
of peace
hope humanity
sarkozy
has yet to know
