and one of Iba's mom , cooking peacefully as
a severed sheep's head lolls peacefully by her foot.
They do not think anymore of my Western sensibilities
A sheep in Senegal for Tabaski is an American turkey for Thanksgiving
except we, the Americans, pay a low income
worker to do the slaughtering work.
The Senegalese are low income, there
is no one but them to take on the task
letting the blood run into the ground, casting
intestines into the sea at certain beaches.
The fish and birds celebrate the day after.
Notes: The Senegalese people dress very beautifully for this very important holiday!
