All Around Me
at the back of
the horse with flower mane
there are tears
of hyacinth time
the growing
wrath of darkness crinkling on my skin
wind: collapsing
inwards
water: pursing
of time
earth: the
mysterious way in which God reveals his existence to us
the power of
shadows
who has the
scales of fire?

Atlas
how come i loved
that voice of
yours to which i couldn’t give birth
your eyes are a
cluster of stars
your shoulders
taking on firmaments
are cold breaths
of tablets
your fire hasn’t
cooled yet
your silence
that writes on water
your wrath tied
to a thunder
is the
unbearable burden of the world
Atlas the last
castle of defeat
Translated by
Yaprak Damla Yıldırım
Waltz
the sorrow
leaking from our history
threatens the
throne of loneliness
it’s an art to
resist
the doubt that
gnaws our laughs
console me with
your purity
decked with
mosaics your voice
envelops sand
grains
do not drag the
wrecked past of ours
into the
damnation dark
let the wings of
death embrace us
