WHISPERS OF SUMMER
There’s an hour, toward evening, when alleys stop being streets and become memories.
Shutters half-close like eyelids tired of the sun, fig tree shadows draw maps no one will ever read.
I walk slowly, almost on tiptoe, so as not to wake the village.
Here time doesn’t pass it settles, like golden dust on the stones.
And at the end of the alley, behind a half-open door, there’s always something left to imagine.
