The verticals of the door jamb are closing in on him, like two toppling towers. He is in a small, intimate space in low light. But whatever acts of intimacy or contemplation he may have been engaged in have been interrupted. Obviously he is a man with enemies, real or imagined. Something has prompted him to grab his “protection” and peer out of his lair- was it the sound of footsteps? A voice? What illicit activity or disallowed object has he that would compel him into this desperate, defensive stance? Intent and focused, he glares into the dim, ready for anything… or nothing.
