Eggplants at Evening Light in Cairo

by Olivia Burgess

A narrow Cairo alleyway glows under the amber wash of a streetlamp as a young man in a faded white thobe leans against a rusted iron gate, clutching a woven basket of glossy purple eggplants. The produce’s deep violet skins reflect the warm light, contrasting sharply with the rough, peeling ochre plaster of the adjacent wall. Behind him, a second figure disappears into the shadowed entrance of a small grocery, leaving the fruit vendor to adjust his grip on the basket, his posture relaxed but attentive to the passing traffic.
