Sedex (three)- 'almost'

She is a product of,
A promiscuous Bahamian Father
and a resentful English Mother
One of the most loyal and loving I er' known
She says she has no faith
Now-
She says she has no God

When we were 15
after we kissed Ayeeyo's (grandmother's) forehead/hand
We would break Ramadan fast
ione would fiddle with her hijab
Her hands always alluded to familarity
Feasts, warm sisterly embraces and pure Islamic trappings
When we ate the way her mouth curled to bite
Like she was almost ready to recite the ashada
Almost there ,

She fasted most of the month
We parted ways
Because she went to drama school
Alchohol, fornication and confused baseless trappings

Tell me how could I not
want Islam for her?
