Counting the lit windows in the apartment

In a rainy bus-stop doorway, half in shadow, a young man in a white linen shirt gazes at apartment towers — counting their lit windows, one life at a time.

The Story Behind This Image

Counting lit windows

Counting the lit windows in the apartment towers across the dark street — that is a census of strangers, taken kindly. He stands in a doorway, half in shadow, at a bus stop in the rain, in a white linen shirt with rolled sleeves and beige trousers, gaze fixed on the towers beyond the glass. Each lit window is a life he will never know. Each dark window is a life at rest. And he counts them the way other men count sheep: to fall, gently, into thought.

Passionate, in the doorway

Passion, in a doorway, is not loud. It is the intensity of a man standing still in the rain's shelter, looking hard at a city that does not know it is being looked at. His shirt is white, his shadow is dark, and the line between them — the doorway's edge — is where he has chosen to stand: half in, half out, entirely present.

The windows, and the counting

We count lit windows when we cannot sleep, when we cannot speak, when we want to feel less alone without asking anyone to help. He counts them tonight, in the rain, in the doorway, and the count does not end — because the city does not end, and neither does the thinking. The bus will come. The windows will dim, one by one. And the man in white, half in shadow, will still be counting, passionately, the lights of other people's lives.
