Market Square Mornings
Limited Edition
On Saturday mornings, vendors slip quietly into the square before the fountain has drawn its first shadow across the bricks. By eight, basil bunches sprawl against crates of tomatoes—still carrying the last of yesterday’s heat—each leaf waking a memory when your hand grazes past, sharp with that particular green smell. At the corner, a knife slices through lemons for lemonade, the air briefly citrus-bright before it settles again into the deeper scent of earth and vine. The square smells as though someone’s just pinched a tomato plant, the oil lingering on your fingertips long after you’ve moved on.
By midday, neighbors and families emerge, drawn by the promise of something fresh for lunch, and the morning’s clarity persists beneath the bustle. It lingers in the herb stalls lining the walk, in the hush of a breeze threading between vendors, gathering up the scents: basil bruised by careless hands, the faint pepper of arugula, tomatoes still clinging to their stems. Not floral sweetness, but the subtle insistence of things living and being chosen, slipped into brown paper bags and carried out toward the heat.
It’s the scent that draws you from sleep on a humid June morning, urging you out before the hum of conversation overtakes the square. In that cool hour, it’s only you and the growers, the bakers, the hush of something about to begin—a sense of possibility suspended in the dew.
