Charles Mungoshi

In the wilderness

In the wilderness

In the wilderness

The torrid silence of the October sun.
Miles upon miles and miles of burnt-out plains.


Suddenly you realise
you are talking loudly to your
shadow.
Close

In the wilderness

The torrid silence of the October sun.
Miles upon miles and miles of burnt-out plains.


Suddenly you realise
you are talking loudly to your
shadow.

In the wilderness
