Before it was a house, it was a warehouse, a place built to keep things: grain, salt, oil, whatever the sea brought in and someone wanted to count. Under its floor, older stones are still keeping their own accounts. There is an old story about a jar kept in a storehouse and opened out of curiosity. Everything inside escaped except hope, which stayed behind, as if hope were the one thing worth keeping under a lid. The story has never been clear on whether that was mercy or the final cruelty. The brick has lost its plaster and kept its shape. The glass faces the water and gives nothing away. Some buildings are made to hold what the world delivers. This one has learned to wait.
