II Strangers in the Daylight

What thou givest away is thine; What thou keepest is lost. Shota Rustaveli1 I don’t stick out in Thailand.

Siamese Cat2

In the beginning of the 12th century, king David the Constructor3 - called “Constrictor” by his enemies – the great warrior and politician, and notably famous for his religious tolerance, united the country, fought numerous battles against the invaders and brought crucial victories to Georgia. As was the practice of those times, king David had mercenaries from the North employed in his army. The locals called those foreigners Kivchaks.4 In order to prevent friction between Kivchaks and local population, David gave orders to show hospitality to those outlanders and provide them with most needed things. Here is a story told by a Georgian layman – it is about the times of the abovementioned king David who ruled the country with iron hand, Kivchaks who felt themselves more at ease in Georgia than in their steppes and cultural incompatibility in general. 1

Shota Rustaveli, 12th century poet, an outstanding representative of Georgian Renascence, author of an epic poem The Knight in Panther’s Skin. The book was so popular and highly valued, Georgians used to give it to their daughters as a dowry. 2 Cats don’t talk (Ed.). 3 King David the Constructor, alias David the Builder, also known as “The Sword of Messiah”. Georgia became just about an empire during his reign. In 1121 his 56.000 warriors defeated 300.000-strong allied Muslim army, headed by the Caliph of Baghdad, thus preventing the advance on the Crusaders’ headquarters in Syria-Palestine (Ed.). 4 Kivchaks were nomads roaming North Caucasian plains (Russian name is Polovets/ Kipchak). King David brought 40.000 Kivchak families and settled them in Georgia on condition that each family would provide one warrior for the king’s army. They served king David well, but a century later, circa 1230 they turned coat and ed Jahl-AlEddin’s Arabian-Iranian troops. Their further fate is unclear: either they became assimilated with Georgians or they left the country together with Jahl-Al- Eddin’s retreating army, taking along their families (Ed.). 413

We left town gates an hour ago – my baby doll and me. We got married in autumn and come summer, when roads dried up, she started nagging that she was home-sick and she missed her parents who lived in the nearby village. How could I refuse my angel? So we set off early in the morning and there we were trotting along the waterfront. I felt the dizzy smell of field flowers and bushes in blossom all the way. Slight breeze was lolling treetops lazily and rippling the surface of the river. Every friggin thing around was so quiet you could hear a butterfly fart. I halted my horse to give him a chance to nibble at grass when my lovely – she was riding at my back – started giggling and said: ‘Look at that funny man squatting at the river. He’s lapping water like a dog!’ One glance at his clothes and weapons told me he was a Kivchak serving in king David’s army. Now, those Kivchaks were good warriors but they looked real funny. I was fresh out of army myself and I’d fought alongside them a few times but I still didn’t dig their alien ways, their strange lingo, and their queer faith, which to my mind, was no religion at all. And they often behaved like animals but I kind of respected them for their fighting skills though. Besides, king David’s orders were like, don’t you dare to harass them, make them feel cozy here, and what not. By the way, the king was married to a Kivchak lady,5 so it said it all. Well, who was I to go against king’s orders, anyway? On twigging us the Kivchak rose to his feet – he was a stocky man, built like a brick shit-house – and came up to us. His horse followed him sluggishly. He looked at me with his eyes like two piss-holes in the snow, then stole a glance at my sweetheart and said: ‘Pshrat qlug mleshka clat’.6 ‘I don’t get you, man. Can you speak Georgian?’ – I told him. ‘I do”, he said, ‘Hello, I’m Kivchak’. As if I wouldn’t know! You couldn’t mistake a Kivchak for any other foreigner – they stuck out like sore thumbs in this part of the world. ‘Hello, Kivchak!’ I said, ‘How are you doin’?’ ‘Now that you remind me, not as well as I’d like to. I’m hungry as a steppes wolf.’ – He glanced at my bulging saddlebag and licked his thick lips.

5 6

It’s a historic truth (Ed.). Linguists still argue what language Kivchaks spoke (Ed.). 414

‘Be my guest’, I said and dismounted. When I was helping my wife get down, her dress rode up and her legs – my lovely, she had legs like two exclamation marks – flashed whitely. The Kivchak gaped at her as if it was the first time he saw a live woman. Then he turned to his horse, pulled down a piece of rug he used for his saddle and spread it over the grass. I unpacked my saddlebag and laid out our trip-ration. Three of us my lovely wife, the Kivchak – and –me sat around the makeshift table and had light lunch. I mean, my baby doll and me had light lunch and the Kivchak had a heavy dinner – he gobbled up every frigging thing from smoked beef, goat cheese, hard-boiled eggs and white bread to red wine. He managed to exchange a few words with me at that. He said he’d fought in a couple of battles king David carried against Turks. I told him I had the luck to be part of those campaigns too. ‘I knew you were a warrior at the first sight’, he grunted and looked at me in approval. ‘How come?’ ‘Easy. The way you move and speak’, he smiled to himself. I was puzzled a bit; I had no idea I behaved in any special way, different from others. Looked like he had drunk too much of wine. That red one of mine was the pride of my family, we’d been making it for centuries and it had a bite like a Damascus dagger – half a dozen cups were enough to fell a bull. The Kivchak burped with satisfaction, turned his face that looked like the rear end of my horse and gave an eye to my lovely wife. Now, my baby, apple of my eye, she was a real head-turner – she had two of everything – so I dug his hankering after her. ‘Look, soldier’, he said, staring at my sweetheart, ‘be a real man – give me your woman, will you?’ I was dumbfounded. I lost my speech though I shit-listed that cock-eyed bastard at once. ‘What do you mean, be a real man? Do real men in your tribe give their wives away like domestic animals?’ I glared at him and felt blood rush to my head. ‘Sure they do’, he said and showed his yellow teeth: ‘I’ll give you my horse in exchange. Trust me, it’s a good deal, soldier’. He looked at me like he was sure he’d made an offer I couldn’t refuse. Then he caught my baby by her plait and started smooching her with his dirty turnip-trap. My lovely tried to push him away but she was too weak to get rid of his bear hug. She looked at me as if saying ‘What kind of a man are you, letting the stinking barbarian do this to your wife?!’

415

‘Let her go, you gutter-minded son of a bitch!’ I roared and reached for my sword. As if he’d been waiting for my move, the Kivchak jumped back and turned to me quickly. When he faced me, he was brandishing his crooked scimitar. My sword was half out of its sheath when his weapon flashed like lightning and cut my shoulder. I got real mad. Now, this Kivchak could have been a good warrior but he didn’t know half of the tricks I’d learned during my seven years in the king David’s army. I feinted as if I intended to attack him from the right and when he shifted his weapon to ward my blow, I drove the blade deep in his throat.7 ‘That‘ll teach you to fart in chapel’, I said, withdrew my sword and stepped back. The Kivchak fell to his knees, dropped his scimitar, and started coughing blood. He was half-dead already. ‘All right, soldier’, he said in a hoarse voice. ‘You win. Now you can cut off my ears’. I ed Kivchaks had the custom of cutting off the ears of a defeated enemy but Georgians didn’t see any sense in this kind of medical operation on dead people. ‘Keep your frigging ears to yourself’, I told him and sheathed my sword. The Kivchak fell backward. Then a shadow of a smile touched the corner of his lips. ‘You are a good man, soldier’, he said, ‘Take my horse and my money’. He fumbled inside his jacket and held out a thick purse: ‘These are your rightful trophies’. I didn’t move. He dropped the purse on the ground, looked at me eye to eye for a second or two and then said: “Think of it as a dying man’s request’. He shifted his gaze to my baby doll that had blacked out during our short combat and was now sprawled on the grass. I turned and started towards her to get sure she was all right, when his hoarse whisper stopped me. I came up closer to him to make out what he was trying to say. ‘I did it on purpose’, he mumbled and looked down at his bloodstained chest. ‘I’ve always wanted to know what made you Georgians tick. Now I know’, he said and closed his eyes. ‘What happened?’ My sweetheart’s voice startled me badly. She’d recovered her senses and was standing at my side swaying like a drunk. ‘Curiosity killed the Kivchak’, I told her and petted her pale cheek.

Actually, this is where the most popular Georgian folk poem “Encounter with a Kivchak” ends. However, Vano claims that he, being the direct descendant of that very guy who encountered the Kivchak, knows better. He insists the authentic story has been ed from generation to generation in his family and that the ending was tossed away by some romantic and stupid bards (Ed.). 416

Well, that’s nearly all of it, except all my life went ass over tits after that cursed day. The same night we came to her native village, my wife, my beloved, that double-crossing, triple-clutching bitching whore ran away with her former loverboy taking the Kivchak’s purse with her. Then I realized why she had been so double-damned homesick. Too late, I guess. As for me, I had to take to the woods because king’s men started hunting after me for killing a Kivchak. I ed a gang of outlaws and soon became their leader. We used to hold up well-off noblemen and traveling merchants and people made up heroic legends . Folk singers used to chant how worthy we were, robbing only the rich, never the poor. It looked strange to me – who else could we rob, anyway? What a darn thing can you take from a poor man?! But that’s another story and has nothing to do with this one. But I still have to say this: when I had quiet moments between stick ups and getaways, I would often ask myself, what the hell did that arsy-versy Kivchak mean when he said he knew what made me tick?8 Actually, this story has two morals. One: Some people are strange; others are stranger (s). Two: Think twice before you do away with your enemy – he could be doing you a favor. 9

I’d like to have an answer on that question too (Ed.). How true, how true! (Ed). 417
