Shiner Working in Naples
by Don Nieves
A weathered shoe shiner kneels on a cracked limestone step near the Spaccanapoli entrance, his worn canvas apron stained with wax and dust. His hands, moving with practiced rhythm, buff a leather loafer using a small horsehair brush and a tin of dark polish. Beside him, a metal bucket holds several brushes and a folded cloth, while a second folding stool waits empty for the next customer. The harsh winter noon sun casts sharp, geometric shadows across the narrow alley, highlighting the texture of the rough stone walls and the gleam of the freshly polished shoe. A few scattered flower petals from a nearby vendor’s cart drift onto the pavement, against the gritty urban reality of the trade.
