Alley Walk – Alley Illusion
June 30, 2022
Walk in the alleys of early summer.
Dazzling walls and leaves. The town is clean and silent, as if it has been sanitized by the intense white sunlight. Since my body is not ready for the summer yet, before long the heat and glare make me lose track of why I’m walking.
The alleyways show me a different view in every turn. Distant views cut between the houses, flowers blooming on a house at the end of the alley, views I’ve never seen but I feel nostalgic…
Instead of actual images, they leave only impressions like dreamscapes, on my brain dazzled by glare.
Sometimes I can’t find the same view later when I walk around looking for it. They have disappeared from my world like an illusion. And now again, I walk alleys for such illusions.
