Late night –
only the lime fragrance
passes the street

only the fragrance of lime
passes her threshold

A lime branch
looking beyond the wall
for the first time

First day school –
in the lime hollow
two satchels

Edge of the night
the last lime blossom
in a winding flight

forgotten by the poets
the lime in Copou.
