Watery morning sunlight filters gently through browning oak leaves nevertheless another Algiers rush hour grips convulses disgorges one rattling car after the other.

Watery Morning

Watery morning sunlight filters gently through browning oak leaves nevertheless another Algiers rush hour grips convulses disgorges one rattling car after the other.

It’s only six thirty, but night is already heavy, thick, black, dense. We hurtle along ink-dark twisted roads, lined with tall, promising, never-lit streetlights and feathery bending pines. A young man emerges suddenly, out of spreading darkness, walking - it’s always men walking at night - he wears somber clothes, and walks near the edge of the broken, rising pavement, unaware. He is illuminated in a brief flash by the angry head lights of an oncoming car, then he disappears, consumed by the night. The only trace he leaves is the faint incandescence from his palm-cradled phone.
