Dogs
Every damn night. The dogs are chasing me. I made mistakes, and the dogs remember them. They chase me like predators, as I am prey that runs to escape. They are images that do not fade.

Friendship
We joked and had fun. We drank more that day. The idea was welcomed. We drove all the way there. Up high, the view at our feet and the world ours.

Neighbor
I watch him often, almost every morning, in the apartment across the street. I notice him sitting on the balcony with coffee and a pair of underpants. He is a strange man. He wears dark glasses and enjoys the midday sun for hours like there’s no tomorrow. Every day, at the same time, he isΣυνέχεια ανάγνωσης «Neighbor»
