Duy Beni Qartulad Patched -

Here’s a short poetic piece inspired by that phrase:

Hear me in the alphabet that curves like vines, in the scratch of a chonguri string, in the silence between two clinking horns. Here’s a short poetic piece inspired by that

Feel me in Kartlian — not hurried, not pragmatic, but tangled in polyphonic threads, three voices climbing one mountain, falling, catching each other before the drop.

Hear me in Georgian — not with the sharp edge of Istanbul traffic, but with the slow, heavy vowels of Tbilisi at dusk, where the Mtkvari turns wine-dark and every balcony hides a story.
