Fractured Cow Pat on Wind Scoured Guinea Ridge

by Dominic Savage

A dried cow pat sits centered on cracked, wind-scoured earth, its surface etched with deep, chaotic fractal veins that map the drying mud. The soil around it splits into polygonal tiles of reddish-brown clay, glistening slightly where a brief sun shower has moistened the surface. Flat noon glare reflects off a nearby water source, casting a cool, silvery sheen across the textured ridges of the dung and the parched ground. The background dissolves into a soft blur of green and grey, hinting at the distant, heavy canopy of the rainy season. Sharp shadows define the jagged edges of the cracks, showing the dry tension of the landscape before the next downpour. One droplet of water rests on the lowest vein of the pat.
