* 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

The Cartography of Nigde
* 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
