Cracked Stone Basin Amidst Nettles in Soweto Ruins

by Christine Giles

Pale morning light skims the tops of tall nettles surrounding a cracked stone basin set deep within a courtyard of toppled columns. The scene sits in deep shadow, save for a sharp rim of cool light defining the broken edges of the masonry. Green foliage spills over weathered gray stones, their surfaces rough with moisture from the recent storm. The basin holds a shallow pool of still water reflecting the darkened sky above. Vines rest on the crumbling column bases, marking the turn of the seasons with fresh, wet growth. One jagged fragment of the basin rests on the damp earth near the water's edge.
