Spiral Smoke and Giant Flower in Pemba Chapel

by Frank Cline

Cool blue morning light floods the stone floor of a Pemba chapel, filtering through stained glass windows to cast geometric patches of color. A ceramic incense holder sits in the foreground, silhouetted against the bright window, releasing a tight, perfect spiral of smoke that defies gravity by rising straight upward. Behind the small vessel, an impossible flower has erupted from the earth, its trunk thick as a tree and its petals reaching the vaulted ceiling. The monsoon season is evident in the damp sheen on the stone tiles, where muted reflections of the stained glass and the towering bloom dance across the wet surface. The air holds a heavy stillness, the smoke curling slowly against the backdrop of the giant bloom's shadow.
