When I
entered the hut immediately
I realized that, I wasn’t alone.
Curious eyes were everywhere, eyes of lions and antelopes that
won’t blink any more. It was strange, because at home in Milan
I’ve never seen such things before. I’m a photographer and
I
came to Tanzania to take some photos of
a ”dito” who is the
lover of the Masai warrior.
I’d just
finished at a Masai ritual where the 15-year-old boys become
circumcised and become young wariors named Morani. The
ritual’s rhythm filled me with thrill and desire.
I smelt
fresh blood in the air and I was confused. So in the hut I
was looking for a suitable place to relax. I cought sight of a
fur of a lion
in the middle. Right after I was lying on it.
Yes. It’s a
wild wild world -repeated it. 'Women! What a sore life is
yours!’
I’d just got know that girls here are circumcised before their marriage. They will never get know sexual
pleasure, only sex pain, in ther lifetime. Nor Ilomi.
Ilomi
was the name of a Masai young woman who liked me. I attracted
the attention of her two weeks ago at a rainmaking ritual when
she together with her girlfriend sang for the rain. Her figure
was so fragile and her antelope-body was covered beautiful
necklaces that let me see her pretty and strong nipples. We
couldn’t speak the other’s language but we understood each
other.
It was a secret relationship without words between an
European man and an African woman. And her smell was so sweet
and...suddenly I sat up. She was there.
I rose and I felt my
heart in my throat. She stood in the corner among zebra skins
and cushions. She wore only necklaces. Her face was peaceful
and majestic. She looked like an African queen.
