TE20 Migrant Mosaics

Fabiano Alborghetti

XXVI Khalid, 19 years old, Oujda, Morocco So very long the wave but not enough for the dinghy: everywhere the risk of shallows the lookout ashore or at sea. Get off they say, get up and walk. Then the jump, the plunge into the water the challenge of fording, of surviving the shore. Hiding in the shade, I leave the sand.

Distance is direction, each breath is now a step.
