Narine Abgaryan, I love you daily: when I go for bread, and when I go out with the dog and when you really are quiet, and when you are spinning in the whirlwind of carnivals and Biennale. I love you to the touch. I love when plaster falls under the fingers, exposing the crystals of salt. I taste you. And today, devastated and hidden before the unknown, quiet, I love you no less. You experienced not one, but dozens of quarantines. And you and I are the first.
