Brass Bowls on Pilgrimage Table in Dar es Salaam Courtyard

by Phyllis Estrada

Cool blue twilight settles over a temple courtyard in Dar es Salaam, where a weathered wooden table holds a collection of brass bowls. Monsoon tarps drape overhead, their heavy fabric rippling slightly in the damp air, casting deep shadows across the scene. The brass surfaces catch the fading light, reflecting the grey fog that rests on the ground and softens the edges of the courtyard walls. Layers of depth recede into the distance, where faint outlines of other structures fade into the mist. The wood of the table shows years of exposure, its grain rough and darkened by moisture. Each bowl sits in a deliberate arrangement, their polished interiors against the dull, wet surroundings. at the edge is a single bead of water clinging to the rim of the nearest bowl, glowing faintly in the twilight.
