Before steel crossed Kimuka, morning arrived on bare soles pressing into the earth, you could hear the footsteps before you saw the people.

Somewhere, a rooster misjudged the hour. She balanced the yellow jerrycan on her hip and began the walk toward the borehole, joining other women. They greeted each other softly, voices low, conserving breath for the climb back.
