Where the River Niger Meets the Sahara  — 2 years ago

February 2004

From my rooftop I watched a round moon rise over a minaret in the desert. In the courtyard below a Griot was playing guitar. He sang in a dusty voice, like a man from the desert should.

It was perfect. But for one thing… I was alone. Nobody would remember but me.
