SAS - Assayla

16th February 2007

yesterday we rolled along the coast

of the Arabian Sea

a gentle, creative day.

Sunkissed and wild haired

we stopped at a town called Assaylah.

Set up our mobile studios in dusty courtyards

and quiet streets,

to paint Omani doors.

Offscreen team scattered around.

A boy in a Ronaldo T-Shirt skips by.

Call tp prayer from a mini Mosque.

Some hidden women call from a darkened window.

Flatbed Toyota trucks amongst the goats.

Silver on the inside of crisp packets sparkle

like diamonds in the desert
