Satay Vendor Grilling Over Charcoal at Dawn Market

by Renee McDonald

Soft gray light falls through heavy overcast skies above a narrow lane in Kinshasa. A wooden boat floats precariously in a flooded market path, its hull dark and slick with rain. A vendor stands over a small charcoal brazier, skewers of meat sizzling as thin wisps of smoke curl upward. The vendor wears a faded blue shirt, sleeves rolled to the elbow, hands moving rhythmically over the glowing embers. Beside the brazier, stacks of raw skewers rest on a wet wooden crate. Raindrops bead on the vendor's skin and glisten on the charred wood of the boat. The water around the vessel ripples gently, reflecting the muted tones of the cloudy sky and the dark wet surfaces of the surrounding market stalls. One skewer rests on the edge of the brazier, its metal tip gleaming with oil.
