If
you walk in between the shadows
of the city
that are now standing still
if you let yourself stay seated
on the empty benches of the park
now that February nights feel like the heart of spring
if from that position
you notice
the very few airplanes rising higher against the dark blanket that we call the night sky
if you read closely
the messages shaped
on the dusty windscreens of old cars;
I wonder
will you know
the shadows have grown fond of us
and we have grown to resemble them?
February 2021,
Athens.
