Open Shutters:
Four little worlds are open to the day. A holiday comes alive in bread, colour, and laughter too big for the table. A game keeps two people close under the excuse of rules. Maps curl beside a telescope waiting for dark, and among lavender and old habits, a thousand mornings have made a language of small routines. Piece by piece, these balconies become familiar. Until you want to stand there too, and see what they see.
