Grass Growing Through Crumbling Amphitheater Stairs

by Ronald Schaefer

Tall green grasses push through every crack in the weathered stone steps of an ancient amphitheater near Guiglo. The wet season has filled the air with drifting dust that catches the fading twilight light, creating visible shafts across the courtyard. The structure stands in silhouette against the deepening blue sky, its crumbling edges softened by the encroaching vegetation. Moss rests on the lower tiers where moisture collects, while the upper steps remain dry and dusty. Shafts of golden light pierce the gloom, illuminating particles that float above the stone. The grass blades sway slightly, their tips glowing orange where the last sun rays hit them, marking the slow reclamation of the space by the earth.
