“Walk slow enough and the light will start showing off.”

The back of a white-brick warehouse: a roll-up garage door, a steel service door, a dark dumpster, and a hard golden-hour shadow line cutting across the wall.

Glass, leaf,

“Two strangers walk through the bike rack.
They aren’t there, of course. The sun is, behind them.”

A blank white modernist facade against a deep blue sky, with five dark window cutouts arranged in a sparse grid.

A sunlit alley loading dock: small green and red dumpsters, a hot-pink dumpster peeking past a yellow-bollarded fence, hard mid-afternoon light.

“The floor asks you to stop.”

An empty courtyard patio with red brick walls, two green wrought-iron café chairs, a striped cushion bench, and afternoon light pouring in from the left.

By 5:11 the light had moved on. The bench it had been sitting on was empty. — RING · 11 / 11 · CLOSES F/22
