A Walk in Barcelona #3

Barcelona Cafe Design
Who's changed? You or I?

Of course, it's both of us - my skeleton as usual, your frame, the same but of truly ourselves? The light and shadows fall between us the same way it always did and yet I have forgotten the emotion of this city and it has forgotten mine.

I can't quite get my head in any place - here, home, elsewhere. My feet pound, feeling every step, every heart beat and they burn - an indication I've walked too far and with nowhere in mind.  

And so I seek shade and take a snapshot of who I once was, in a place I once lived.

A flickering flashback.
