Clementines from Morocco by Jeremy Nathan Marks
I made a model of the
Karol Bridge and placed it by
the front window. We have dressed the dining room
with black and white photographs of spires, squares
and damp Parisian thoroughfares.
In the living room our
guests are served brandy, water
crackers and Roquefort. There is a discussion of the
novels of Turgenev, the films of Bergman. I am
learning Hungarian.
Outside the garden fills
with snow. In the wind it is 30
below. The maple trees are skeletal. We heat our home
with natural gas and when I pass around the fruit bowl
it is filled with Clementines from Morocco.
Jeremy Nathan Marks is a Marylander who has been living in Canada since 2006.
