It’s getting warm outside now, and humid. I go for a walk in the afternoon and enjoy the fact that miles feel like blocks with the constant, unimaginable scenery that pulls me forward. 

I’m undressing in the stairs before I’m all the way inside my attic apartment. I sit in the cool dark after hanging up my clothes and listen to the calliope or the bells of the cathedral catching my breath, knowing I’ll have to walk further and faster every day just so I can keep having moments like this one.
