Grandfather’s alley

The walls lean over

bowing to each other

out of mutual respect

for their weather-beaten

and moss-covered words

amalgamated into every stone

Grandfather’s workshop…

was it by this door

or by this one,

or was it this…

the light particulates

along the columns of bricks

diffuse, glistening

I walk to the end of the alley

and lose myself in memories
