*
a field of yes
when Yes was still young
it lived nowhere
Nigde knew this
Nigde always knows first
someone sat beside it
writing music
that taught birds
how to arrive
before arriving
meanwhile
the Ministry of Gravity
continued filing complaints
against dancing
the flowers ignored them
naturally
by midsummer
the complaints
had rooted
somewhere
a woman laughed
at a broken umbrella
and the rain
having lost the argument
fell softer
a forgotten garden
continued its negotiations
with spring
the result was green
highly unofficial
entirely convincing
all day
people kept arriving
with their impossible hearts
stitched from
worry
music
bad timing
hope
and whatever it was
that taught the stars
to remain
after burning
by evening
even the stones
had begun considering
forgiveness
yes
said the garden
yes
said the rain
yes
said the stone
yes
said the hand
reaching
before certainty
and somewhere
Nigde smiled
as if it had known
all along
that the world
despite its borders
despite its careful instructions
was secretly
a field
learning
how to say
yes
*
Atlas of Almost
Nigde keeps
a small notebook
sewn from distances
in it are written
all the places
whose names
never caught up
the river
before flow
the road
before direction
the window
before the view
whole countries
made entirely
of almost
some are still waiting
in forests
beneath lakes
inside abandoned songs
others pass through
briefly
and leave
without introducing
at night
Nigde turns a page
and another horizon
goes missing
