Maboneng Staircase Under Flickering Bulb

by Ronnie Lawrence

Wet concrete steps ascend beneath a corrugated metal roof in Maboneng, Johannesburg, reflecting the heavy monsoon clouds above. One bare bulb hangs from a frayed wire, casting a warm, sputtering glow against the gray afternoon sky. Rain slicks the narrow alley, creating a mirror surface that doubles the shadow of the metal railing. The light bounces off the puddles at the bottom of the stairs, illuminating the rough texture of the brickwork and the peeling paint on the doorframe. Dramatic storm clouds press low against the urban skyline, their dark underbellies against the bright, wet sheen of the pavement. A metal ladder leans against the far wall, its rungs glistening with moisture. at the edge is the sharp reflection of the bulb's filament shimmering in a deep puddle at the stair's base.
