I’m 150 feet down an illegal mine shaft in Ghana.
The air is thick with heat and dust,
and it’s hard to breathe.
I can feel the brush of sweaty bodies passing me
in the darkness, but I can’t see much else.
I hear voices talking, but mostly the shaft
is this cacophony of men coughing,
and stone being broken with primitive tools.
Like the others, I wear a flickering, cheap flashlight
tied to my head with this elastic, tattered band,
and I can barely make out the slick tree limbs
holding up the walls of the three-foot square hole
dropping hundreds of feet into the earth.
When my hand slips, I suddenly remember a miner
I had met days before who had lost his grip
and fell countless feet down that shaft.
