Afternoon Light on Geraniums in Chicago
by Nancy Moses
Sunlight cuts sharply across the weathered brick facade of a Chicago apartment building, illuminating a narrow fire escape where a resident tends to a cluster of bright red geraniums in chipped terracotta pots. The plants spill over the edge of the metal grating, their green leaves against the rusted orange railings and the deep blue of the sky beyond. A heavy iron padlock secures the gate at the base of the stairs, its shackle reflecting the harsh afternoon light. Below, the sidewalk is empty, save for the long, geometric shadow cast by the structure, showing the verticality of the urban canyon and the quiet, lived-in persistence of domestic life against the industrial backdrop of the city.
