They could be there

Military intervention continues in Mali. We don’t know how it will be the citizen’s routine in the future. An scene of every day it’s seen in the picture. Their actors do not seem to complain. Somebody –the one in the front by example- could be happy. But we would see if that puddle still remains there.

  He laughs. His horse must be happy that they find some water. The excitement of the aminal would be notice in the movements with anxiety, like a child, and to him surely it provoked a big laugh. He keep his dress clean, blue like the sky in some afternoons. He –they– goes around the land but managing to follow the path without spots.

  The reader must note the everyday situation of the picture. Lines and tones. It would look like an old piece of art if we would take off some things. However it was taken last year in Mali. The colors. Besides the already mentioned dress there are other things that focused the attention. The reader could imagine how it would be if x-ray pulled out after from one of those maps, used for advertising research, about where we aim the eyes more.

  There is a pink bucket of what appears to be a lady –perhaps a man– on the right. The dress with reds, yellows and greys of the beautiful lady in the center. The other one, bent with her green dress and a hat that we could discuss if look like well. The women also in the right with her child strapped in her back, letting the flip flops on the ground because it will fit; the boy has a capping with a drawing of six different colors, somewhat of childhood.

  There is a bicycle left on the ground with impeccable veneer and paint that the reader could be tent to steal. And the soccer balls, inevitable for the journey, over the little bus. Who could not be entertain by this guys running so much like chasing their lives?

  The situation in the image happened and its repetition, at least in a similar way, it’s a possibility. That, while combat airplanes won’t make blow up everything. The man on the front should not permit the stains in the dignified garment.
