about

How does it feel when your friend gets arrested and you don't know his name?

lyrics

I am in Kidira, waiting... My friend was arrested. We were standing in front of a train. I told him this must be part of the Dakar-Niger line. I took the photograph with my phone. Two policemen approached us. They asked for identifying papers. I brought out my passport. My friend had none. When he was being taken away he smiled at me. But his face contracted into many furrows, and he held open his palms like a supplicant. I watched him retreating, half-expecting he would turn to look at me. He didn’t. Now it was clear that our relationship was not one among equals. I have waited for his reappearance. I have dreamed of him reclining on an electric pole reciting a chant: Today and tomorrow, God’s time is the best. I have searched for him. I have been warned by policemen against circling the border station, peeking through cobwebbed shutters. Yet without his name I am told I cannot be given any information. In the dozens of hours we spent together, I didn’t ask for his name, and he didn’t ask for mine.
