"The seasons, the Cévennes, the water and the heatwave, or the intuition of the useless"
That evening, the fountain had flowed. We didn't believe it, because we no longer believed it.
We had to get used to thirst and make it a sort of companion, a habit to which we were faithful because it preserved us a good hope of change and in return did not require any effort from us. It was relaxing. Perhaps even the idea of a work-study program had ended up making us sweat. In short, it could have continued like this: shortness of breath and dry tongue. A sort of white anesthesia.
Now, all this water runs over my taste buds like over dry land, without impregnating them deeply. If I indulge in the pleasure of this feeling of satiety, I am sure I am losing a world. I will then have to create another with new demands, new constraints, new shortcomings to tame in order to recreate hope.
Some call it renewal, I know this name well and as what is "re" is not really "new" I am not fooled this pleasure will evaporate in its turn. I can already feel my tongue drying again...luckily!
