16. Lines of Flight

subscriber exclusive

about

Death Valley in the height of summer

The breeze rushes gently over the expanse of Eureka valley. In this heat it is deserted.

A storm rolls through and as the temperature changes, sand particles from the dunes are suddenly airborne - the accompanying wind orchestrating their abrasive path.

As the day fades, insects fly through the air toward the light inside the tent, coming into abrupt contact with the membrane that forms my shelter.

I switch off the light, and silence the flies. I listen through the membrane to the outside, to the soft breeze in isolation.
