Submission dew


Outside my dusty windows pitch black dogs barking cats hissing four in the morning eyes glued together door opened creaking "wake up, wake up, subuh" lights turned off fans switched off my heart inside: "Huh...reversed psychology" eyes still glued blankets being pulled patience at its peak "alright, alright! im up!" sitting on the edge of the bed feets reached the floor ...cold water drank organs inside "woken up" felt fresher than before walked to bathroom water turned on splashed onto face looked into mirror eyes met "what a mess..." toothbrush reached toothpaste empty, ditched opened a new one teeth brushing: done felt even fresher than before basmalah, two hands washed, gargled, nose cleaned, niat recited, face washed, arms till the elbows, forehead reached, two ears cleaned, feets done. felt super fresher than before. ran downstairs straight to surau performed subuh with jemaah alhamdulillah.
