Man Stepping in Bologna
by Earl Brooks
A narrow alley in Bologna glistens under the diffuse, cool light of early morning after a rain shower, the wet cobblestones reflecting the pale sky and the warm ochre of surrounding stucco walls. An elderly man in a dark wool coat steps carefully over a puddle, his leather shoes splashing slightly against the uneven stone, while steam rises from a nearby café vent, softening the air. A bicycle leans against a rusted iron gate, its frame beaded with droplets that catch the faint light. In the background, a shop awning, striped in faded red and white, hangs low, sheltering a display of fresh produce where water rings mark the glass of a display case.
