MEHMET BIKIM


Mehmet Bikim
THE READER


What happens to your name
After it is written down?

...
Does it fly to the dead and remind
Them of the beauty they have lost?
-Or-
Does it travel the world slipping
Poison into the cups of little tyrants?
-Or-
Does it blow from town to city dripping
Glue in to the eyes of racists?
-Or-
Does it turn in to grass
Where grass is needed most?
-Or-
Does it hang from a chain
In the shape of a cross?
-Or-
Does it fall in to a poor man’s dream
Sparkling like a stream of gold?
-Or-
Does it sit by your side
Watching you grow old?

What happens to your name
After it is written down?

Mehmet Bikim
