Afriobstetricsm

Beggars and their ragtag families warmed themselves by the roadside fires, a wailing child in his mother’s arm, a drunken father singing to his daughter; all seemed to be woven into a vast tapestry of intricate design that defied categories, or even comprehension. Through the torn plastic tents sneaked the moonlight, falling on their hay cot. Zephyr mocked at their poverty, revealing their bricked pillows. Wolves have hole, birds have nest, but the son of man has no place to rest.
