Dust covers Africa
until the rains come.
Men with white feet.
Ladies in blue dresses with a light hem.
Children run as the elephants cover shattered trees with a layer of grey.
A donkey shakes and sends clouds into a clear sky.
Rains wash the leaves, and the tree is green again.
White feet turn red.
The donkey's fur is caked near its tail.
The elephants leave and
the dresses are smeared with the past.

I just returned from spending another week on a communal conservancy in northwest Namibia. More photos are on the Picasa site.
