Uzbekistan (November, 2019) – I stood in<br />
the middle of the mausoleum for a long time,<br />
taking in as many different turquoise shapes<br />
as possible. It was the second visit to Shah-i-<br />
Zinda, the light completely different from the<br />
sunny skies from a few days prior. It provided<br />
a different kind of light cast against the<br />
mesmerizing monochromatic domed interior.

Dandelions, approximate to love<br />
“an oblivial force dwells within that reminds us daily…”--Rick Harsch<br />
And slow the stories dismounted the handles of our verbs<br />
tongues wagged wayward toward a star anise sky,<br />
a collapsing algebra along the escarpment’s frozen Niagara night<br />
there we fell away, once<br />
a renegade March where a herd of shadows stood up in the light<br />
dream plunged through a sinkhole of flight,<br />
clusters of color cracked, no matter the cold<br />
and we were floral<br />
medallions of dandelions bruising with song and woodwind long ago<br />
he a young boy as his father wiggled him through the city<br />
she nuance laying along the hips of the sloppy Hudson<br />
together they pulled at birds flocking in their hands<br />
weeds peonied steel roses ivying up the walls along Christopher Street<br />
when a father tugged the child kicking up cans along the Village’s gateway<br />
brothers’ gangfilled love and legends curlyhaired echoed on the fire escape<br />
love’s labor later tossed along the hips of a sloppy Hudson<br />
the mudbanks upstate in the valley<br />
and bricks bloomed and pollinated lore through a thin stem of meaning.
let the worldworld behold<br />
let the dreamdream inhale<br />
let the oblivial force dwell in the understory<br />
a photograph’s thought faded from the image and dogeared<br />
twice the terrain unbuttoned from underneath<br />
the horizon a finger of wet chicory<br />
along the sea trees taught flowers to stone<br />
the land fecund with opossum and beetle bone<br />
a heart left behind in a rusted octagon box<br />
cicada shells exhaled into the side of a tree, a thumbprint of time<br />
and the tempo rescued from the lumber, sand and swamp.<br />
The frozen stories we shared beneath the falling water<br />
the thawing dandelions of yesterdays’ goodbyes<br />
the clockwork of your morse code along my wrist<br />
the takeaways and the somedays and the bend in the river, once<br />
the reverie and the recounting<br />
the soil and the songs<br />
the lives an error approximate to love<br />
as we carried history in small thimbles of cinnamon<br />
the pollen dust of the tillage kicked up by boots<br />
the crimson and the leaves oar-rot black over which stepped a journey<br />
and your measure unflagging, the flair once pedaling along the sky’s dresswork.<br />
My love,<br />
to this day we step lightly over flowerbeds of cast away giants’ and Goliath’s bones<br />
a graveyard of lost fables, the gossamer map of things<br />
and with the weight of a coin in our palm<br />
loss lead us home to our watery selves<br />
together and at last alone, we remain long in this world.<br />

On Jul 25, 2020, for the first time since the end of confinement, Mehdi Kerkouche<br />
invited Nicolas Huchard, Sami Blond and Jordan Joaquim Oliveira to join the<br />
company for a unique performance under the initiative of Espacio Abierto Quinta<br />
de los Molinos. The 4 dancers met for the first time in a neutral space, sharing the<br />
emotions and feelings that the crisis of the last few months has caused in everyone.
