Barn Swallow Perched on Nail Above Feed Sacks

by Violet Marsh

Cool blue twilight washes the dark, rain-slicked soil of a Sulawesi tractor track. A barn swallow rests on a rusted nail driven into a burlap sack filled with feed. The sack sits beside a deep furrow carved by heavy machinery, its fabric soaked and heavy with moisture. Raindrops rest on the bird's dark throat feathers and glisten on the rough twine binding the sack. The sky above is a uniform, deep indigo, offering no direct light, only the diffuse glow of the rainy evening. Beside the bird, the wet earth reflects the ambient blue, while the sack's coarse texture contrasts with the smooth, wet metal of the nail. The bird remains still, its small form a sharp detail against the vast, dark field.
