Geometries of a Lucid Dream

A refuge in the stillness of a vision in stone

You walk through a small town that seems to have stepped out of a metaphysical dream: clean lines, wide squares, long shadows on the paving. The air smells of warm plaster and your step is the only sound.

You do not know how much time passes: here time seems to thin, perhaps to stop.
