They hung like lanterns, free of
leaves, the green ones green, the ripe white, or so it seemed. All
were too firm to be eaten, but Willie† picked one and cut it open
with a knife, as if, by virtue of a slice, the seasons would change.
It wasn’t really a lemon inside. And it wasn’t spring, or any
other time. It was a strange grove, that’s all, there for itself,
as much as of our longing.

William, what a beautiful piece of writing, with words as hard to resist as lemons, and as illuminating as lanterns. I just keep reading it aloud to myself, not to grasp it, but because I like the way it makes my voice sound, as if I were in that timeless grove. Thank you for the perfect obbligato to my morning coffee.
Nor do we grasp the steam, and yet straight to lungs and mind it goes. Thank you, Gabriella, for keeping this dream alive.
the soul doesn't know seasons.

Thank you, Monika. In a way, the dream life is an ocean or a stream, in which anyone and everyone can bathe. A few words, memory, a little fantasy, yes.
