Sometimes, spring can remind you of why you stay in this country. As winter closes its coffin lid and bars take their tables outside, there seems to be a new easiness.
Noise sounds lighter.
Even lovers look better. When it's dark, the stress creases up their eyes and sucks at their skin. In spring's evenings they are more colourful, almost healthy. This is what I thought as I looked at my girl on the balcony. Her Maltese hair curled against the floor, that skirt lying on her thighs like a broken blind.
