Eyes brush.
Movement shimmers
across the forehead,
muscles lift, cheeks like apple curves.
Face, a map of mirrors
reflects itself in greeting
cemented by years of tradition.
Hands press - tight and warm.
Inner misery barricaded
beneath a greeting.
The flood of joy, touch, smiles!
Good morning! Shalom!
Kalemeira!
Another human being!
Felicitations!
