Peppercorns Ground in Stone Mortar at Dawn Souk

by Kendra Bender

Warm candlelight pools across rough-hewn stone surfaces in a narrow covered bazaar aisle. A vendor's hands work a heavy stone mortar, crushing dark peppercorns while steam and cooking smoke drift upward from nearby pots. The late autumn air hangs thick with haze, softening the edges of hanging spice sacks and wooden shelves. Blue-washed walls line the background, their cool tones against the amber glow of the flame. Dust motes float in the light beams, settling on the textured stone rim of the mortar. The vendor's sleeves are rolled up, revealing forearms moving rhythmically against the grain of the wood table beneath. One shadow stretches long across the stone floor.
