The Story Behind This Image

The Chair That Rocks Itself

His grandfather's armchair still rocks gently on the old rooftop, pushed by nothing but the night wind — or so he tells himself. He has come up here in his charcoal blazer, the one he wore to the funeral, and sits with his knees drawn up and his arms wrapped around his legs, watching the sleeping city lights blink ten thousand small goodnights below.

Wistful Moonlight

The moon breaks through the clouds in ragged pieces, and the drizzle threads silver lines through the dark. Feelings never spoken gather in his chest like the city lights gather on the horizon — too many, too bright, all of them saying different things. He never thanked the old man for the stories. He never asked the questions he rehearsed. The armchair rocks. The city sleeps. The moon pretends not to notice his eyes.

Wistfulness is love with nowhere to put itself, and tonight his has nowhere. So he lets the rooftop hold it: the wet concrete, the deep shadows, the blazer going damp at the shoulders. When he finally stands, he touches the armchair's wooden arm the way you touch a shoulder — gently, and for a second longer than necessary.
