Meskel Festival Bonfire Cross Okene Waterfront Twilight

by Tanner Delarosa

Cool blue twilight washes the waterfront in Okene, where low-hanging wet season clouds press against the darkening sky. A massive wooden cross, constructed from fresh branches and leaves, stands centered in the frame, its structure engulfed by a roaring bonfire. The flames cast a fierce orange glow that reflects off the calm water surface, creating a symmetrical pillar of light against the encroaching gray. Behind the fire, the city begins to emit soft, scattered points of artificial light, against the deep indigo of the evening. The ground around the bonfire is scattered with ash and damp earth, while the rough texture of the burning wood glows bright yellow at the core. One ember drifts upward into the heavy air, landing on a wet stone near the water's edge.
