Guatire Morning Spice Market Stalls in at a flower auction bench in Guatire

Guatire Morning Spice Market Stalls

by Phyllis Fox

Bright morning light skims sideways across a crowded flower auction bench in Guatire, illuminating the rough weave of a flea market blanket spread with mounds of dried spices. The wet season air hangs heavy under nearby tarps, visible as a faint haze where dust motes catch the beam. Piles of turmeric, paprika, and cumin sit beside fresh flower stems on the wooden surface, their textures sharp against the worn fabric. A foreground blur of green leaves frames the chaotic arrangement of trade goods. Small hands reach in to adjust the piles, creating a ripple of movement across the colorful, powdery mounds. The light reveals the fine grain of the spice dust settling on the rough wood grain at the edge of the blanket.
