African Moon: Something I wrote while living in the Southern Hemisphere and considering it's summer there now (and I'm seeking some proper heat!) here's a glimpse into life in Cape Town, South Africa. Of course, this was written pre-Covid and is kinda bittersweet because right now the beaches are off limits there. Even if they were open, the mask wearing state of our present makes a lie of this story. Still, this was just yesterday and may it soon be our tomorrow again :)
It’s a hot day in Cape Town but a woman holds the vigil at a
window overlooking the beach. She dreams of a sailing boat, a lost soul
perhaps, entering upon silver streaks on the water. Is this merely dreaming or,
as she believes, a vision?
She will watch, she will give it this one day, and then go
on with her life, and waiting with her is Barney, her beloved dog, and Fantasy,
her snooty cat. Man, a girl and her fur babies get hungry while waiting for
something to happen …
