MEHMET BIKIM


MEHMET BIKIM
IF I COULD WATCH YOU SLEEP
If I could watch you sleep
I would not have the heart to awake you
...
I am poor...unattractive...lack entertainment...
Where do I find the nerve
To take you?
I hear the hum of the lake in your eyes
My bones revolt, break through my skin
To protect you
I will crawl to the four corners of the world
Alas, you have instructed me
To forsake you.
If I could watch you sleep
I would gather birds and hire instruments
To awake you.

MEHMET BIKIM
