Egypt: and slow adventures by the Nile
She's in Egypt. She's in Minya. By the Nile.
She sips fresh strawberry juice. She eats beans. She leans back in her chair.
It's soon dusk. The Nile turns a color that has no name. A man in a turquoise boat rows by. He smiles.
Night falls. She's still by the Nile, now black. A boat passes by, casting impossible reflections.
She is happy.
It's almost midnight. She gets up from her chair. The umbrellas strung with lights look like UFOs.
Maybe..... they secretly are.
