It is a fact that we live under siege, and we live under an unceasing war of attrition. But there are some beautiful things around me: there is the sea, there are the clouds, there are flowers and trees and lemons on the trees, and these are things to enjoy, even if it is a momentary thing. And when I read poems, sometimes I see things around me that I don’t usually notice until I read about them in a poem. Oh, this lemon, it really looks like the lemon this poet in Europe talks about.
