等下一片陰影

騎樓底下涼涼的，往前一步就是曬到發白的街。帕嚕可走到那條光的邊界前面，停住了。☀️ 腳尖剛好抵在陰影的邊上，身體還留在柱子這一側。沒有往前，也沒有轉頭回去，就這樣站著，眼神有點放空。 遠遠一排機車在太陽底下排排曬，遮陽棚、行道樹，整條街都白晃晃的。其實也就一個路口的距離。只是現在還不太想動。 淡紫色的領巾安安靜靜地垂在胸前。再等一下下好了，牠慢慢地想。( ˘ω˘ ) 日曆都快翻到秋天了，身體卻還留在夏天裡。這種時候想在涼的地方多站一會兒，好像也沒什麼不對。 所以不用催自己。等雲飄過來，等太陽偏一點，等腳自己願意往前。陰影會一片一片接上的。🍃

Under the arcade it is cool. One step forward and the street is bleached white with sun. Paluqo walks up to that line of light and stops. ☀️ Its toes land right at the edge of the shade, its body still tucked to the pillar side. It does not step out, and it does not turn back either. It just stands there, eyes drifting a little. Further down, a row of scooters bakes in the sun. Awnings, street trees, the whole road washed pale. It is really only one crossing away. It just does not feel like moving yet. The lavender kerchief hangs still at its chest. A little longer, it thinks, slowly. ( ˘ω˘ ) The calendar is almost turning to autumn, but the body is still somewhere back in summer. Wanting to stand in the cool spot a while longer feels fair enough. So there is no rush. Wait for a cloud to drift over, wait for the sun to tilt, wait until your feet are willing on their own. There is always another patch of shade further along. 🍃
