#summer

Closing in on 10pm. Old synth wave music, either from some seemingly forgotten background tab or somewhere out in the backyards. Watching a soft-coloured dusk with tired eyes, surprised to see the evening is still capable of bringing up so many colours. Surprised, too, that mind's still capable of shaping thoughts into somewhat clear structures. And amidst all this: The ever-present challenge of being with oneself, ones own perception and program, in between a static horizon and elusive clouds. (Good night everyone, wherever you are.)

11am and on. Light blue sky, light grey concrete. And a flow of palpable, solid heat in between. An old man selling flowers under a worn-down umbrella, surrounded by colours and scents of these warm, blooming months. (Jumping from shadow to shadow. Moving fast, as if the speed was about to help one cool down. At least it's worth a try, probably.)

Schließlich versiegt auch in diesem Abend das Licht, schleicht eine milde Sommernacht traumlos durch die Gassen und all ihre angestaute Wärme. Zeitgefühl: Verloren gegangen. Da sind Melodien in der Stimmung, aber die Töne und Tasten fügen sich nicht und dann steht man wieder hinter dem halb geöffneten Fenster und beobachtet die Aufbrechenden und Zurückkehrenden, deren Welten gerade vorsichtig aneinanderstoßen. Und wenn man die Augen schließt, rauscht noch einmal der bunte Strom des Tages durchs Bewusstsein, schnell, unscharf, überwältigend. Erstrebenswerte Superkräfte: Zu einem Halt kommen, für kurze Zeit. Have a pleasant night wherever you are.

Closing in on 10pm, and even a bit of rain, a bit of thunder later, evening's damp and hot. It seems all about laying down and focusing on what direly needs to be done, breathing included. A lot of small lights in the backyards, a lot of lanterns on balconies, people resting on outdoor chairs under the last remainders of sun. Neccessities of life, too: Students putting wet clothes out to dry. Few conversations. Even less wind.

After complaining about the heat, at last we have one of those perfect summer days when you want to throw open all the windows and sit outside and zone out.
