backyards
In my grandfather's house, there were four yards.
In the main one, the gate opened onto the street, and there was the house itself, and over the low wall you could see the heads of people passing through the street, ever so slowly. Sometimes he came to give the porch the smell of the river, a smell of cloth and clay. In the open garage, on the gravel, my grandfather's brown Variant slept.
To the left, separated by a wall with a passage, was the universe of avocado trees and the little room my grandfather called Petit Trianon. We picked avocados to make pots with matchsticks. The Petit Trianon I don't remember what it was used for, it was almost ___________ closed. But I had nightmares about him.
To the left, separated by another wall with another passage, was a hybrid universe in which orchids could be placed in a greenhouse, chickens, guava trees […]
To the right of the main yard was the last, and almost forbidden. There was a wall, but in the passage there was a small wooden gate, which you sometimes jumped over for pleasure. […]
