“A Moroccan Song”
The beat from my headphones combines with the muffled whispers of young men as I pass by. Mews of small animals float into the air, and pattering footsteps commingle with the hum of a motorcycle engine. This city is full of strange sounds — sounds that transcend the constraints of verbal communication & battle for their share of time & space. Above the city, from the rooftops & mountaintops, a cacophonic buzz lingers for miles, invading the wilderness with an ancestral song in a language I don’t understand.
