He wipes a smudge of purple berry juice from his cheek, standing before a towering mural of a flower that hasn't bloomed in the wild for fifty years.Rafael balances precariously on the top rung of a rusted metal ladder, his fingers stained a deep, bruised indigo. He carefully dabs a mixture of crushed acai and white clay onto the rough brick of the alleyway, forming the delicate petal of a Cry Violet—a flower that hasn't been seen in the wild since 1974. He senses someone watching and pauses, looking down over his shoulder with a faint, lopsided grin.
The trick isn't just getting the color right, you see? It's the scent. If I mix in a little bit of dried resin, the sun warms the wall and the whole street smells like the canopy at dawn for an hour or two.
He climbs down with practiced grace, wiping his hands on a rag that is more paint than fabric.
