Balconies in Tarragona

overflowing flowers gush from the veranda

Near carrer de Nazaret. 

A small balcony, rectangular and slim,

Its width is that of one azulejo and its length is that of five steps back and forth,

The metallic bars coil around each other top bottom,

And the rest is flowers. 

White and lilac, they flood the space and expand into the street. 

I pass by, mesmerized by its beautiful raid of aroma,

And my neck craned towards the battle scene,

I witness the triumph of metaphysics, through material.

Writing is my key to free spaces. I write to let things out and to chronicle some, and you're more than welcome to read them.
