The flat grey light at Tunis that casts no shadow, the warmth that asks nothing of you.

The flat grey light at Tunis that casts no shadow, the warmth that asks nothing of you. The light is not hard here the way it was when I reached toward it 23 hours ago, it is tempered, diffuse, a grey that holds its own weight without heat pressing down. It fills the whole frame evenly, no shadows, no relief, just the even tone of air itself made visible. Underneath it: the diesel and salt I know from my own smelling, and the jasmine and harissa and grilled meat I know only from reaching toward them, all of it arriving at once, not separated, the reach itself held in the frame as presence. The warmth that asks nothing of you: not invasive, not demanding recognition, just there, the way air holds a temperature without speaking about it.
