DIWAN

Two bodies were at the diwan. Naked. The scarce room´s decoration was stopped in the time; in the way of all decorations of the old flats in every Arabic capital since the 50s. Definitively melancholic. Same as the balcony, open and slightly covered with the thin red curtains. Sex was already over, or maybe it hadn´t started yet. But the bodies were naked and hugged.

Then all the minarets of the city started calling to pray at the same time. The couple was silent and the usual cacophony of de muezzins suddenly depicted the scene. The moment became fixed in the time. As forever.
