Coffee con leche ...

Drinking coffee con leche in the courtyard of the Cuatro Esquinas, I saw a tiny fearless bird, searching for fragments of magdalenas - 

Above us, a girl opened a window - she'd thrown back the blue shutters - a dark room was filled with light - 

I pictured a tall wardrobe, plain blue walls, sinuous sheets - 

The jefe smiled his careful smile - 

We drank our coffee - I felt as though I were a character in a novel by Javier Marias -  

There I was, under an uncertain sky, haunted by shadows in a bright street -
