She had dreamt
of two lemons. Side by side the two lemons had been and they were ordinary
lemons, the kind you eat. She had stared at the lemons for what could have been
an eternity or a split second and thought, ‘Two lemons. It really brings out
the yellow in one of them.’ The thought had ceased to exist after she had
opened her eyes and laid there for a few minutes in this simple bed with the
noise of the traffic and the smell of old cigarette ends wafting through the
half opened window. The sill was clean and white and the sunlight in the
morning always seemed brighter to her than any other form of sunlight, as the
day goes on the light simmers and the hues become stronger but not the
brightness. Lemons, she thought, why lemons?
