the horse's hoof

in dendermonde (belgium) there lives a horse called bayard, that leaves its stable once every ten years (!). sunday, may 30th 2010, the horse will greet the city and its spectators, carrying four real life, real time blood brothers on its monumental back. it will fight its way out, like the legend tells it to. this papier mache~textile drapery brothers-and-sons-of-aymon-tradition dates back to the 12th century, like good traditions do.
running up to that glorious day, the horse rehearses outside the stables and even on la grande place. today yours truly polished up on horse’s talk and sniffed around its pawing hoofs. that’s about all i got to do, because mr. bayard stayed inside. tonight no show, no picture. that's all, folk(s).
