Angel Behind Bars [Antiqua, Guatemala]

Staring through bars covering the window of a wealthy shop in an ancient city in an impoverished country is an angel. She sees not and moves not yet watches all the passersby this sunny afternoon: two cute school girls walking hand in hand, an elderly man and wife tourist team taking in the sights, a local drunk staggering, falling, sitting …each living lives with no recognition of this angel’s presence, nor that of the many other watchful unseens living just behind the bars of their perception.
