Seamstress Working in Johannesburg

by Patrick Pruitt

First light diffuses through heavy rain clouds, casting a flat, silver sheen over a dusty roadside stall in Soweto. A seamstress sits hunched over a heavy industrial sewing machine, her hands guiding thick denim through the needle with practiced speed. Beside her, a stack of cassette tapes leans precariously against a crate of garlic bulbs, their paper sleeves damp and curling at the edges. The ground is churned mud, scattered with pebbles pressed into the wet earth by passing tires. Behind the stall, cracked painted stucco walls of a nearby house show layers of peeling pastel paint, revealing the rough concrete beneath.
