In a dream I was at the old square of Siena. It was the afterlife, Limbo. The square, like the whole town, was somewhere high up. There was no horizon. The square was tilted and covered in ice. There were people skating on it and a cembalo was playing a Christmas tune. Otherwise, it was quiet. I wondered how people could skate on the tilted plane, the angle must have been at least 40 degrees. That's quite a tilt for Limbo-skating.
A few years later, I am standing on the old square in Siena. You can't see the horizon. There is no ice but the square is indeed a bit tilted, perhaps five or ten degrees. This is the square after the Limbo, and also outside it. I feel somehow calm and good.
It’s better now. Don’t you think so?
