Rice Paddy Ladder in Evening Light

by Damon Ballard

Rich amber sunset light floods the narrow channel between vineyard trellises in District 3, Ho Chi Minh City. A wooden orchard ladder rests diagonally across the edge of a rice paddy, its rungs slick with recent heavy rain. The dry season air hangs heavy, visible in the way water beads on the weathered timber and drips onto the dark, saturated soil. Mud coats the ladder's feet, anchoring it against the slippery bank. Wet leaves from the overhead trellis structures glisten, reflecting the golden sky. The ladder's grain is swollen and dark, against the bright, honeyed glow that spills over the water's surface. one drop of water rests on the end of the lowest rung, suspended before falling.
