barefoot children standing in the red earth slowly turning a rotisserie of small skinned animals glazed in the juice of necessity. baskets of bananas perfectly balanced on heads bald regardless of gender. trash burning on the corner giving new meaning to pollution as smoke rises from a wilting plastic bag. matatus (taxi buses) filled to the brim fighting for space on the road with horns reminiscent of clown cars. faces stern on first glance melt into pure affection with the offer of a smile. giant maribu birds like vultures circling the city as if it were a cremation ground. green everywhere even in this dry season. the sound of life bold and unforgiving and beautiful.
