A BIT OF SOMETHING FROM US

your oriental mustard

reaching out to me between my eyelashes

I take it as if it is something, for me a couple of geranium branches

and again it is something I take in my own way

 

the poet says

“amazingly, it was such a great pleasure given by your fingertips”

 

I cover with my hair the neck

of the labyrinth style thinking of kheiron

with his bureaucratic and secular breathing

whereas I have green wrists

feverish eyelashes

and the hairclip of my childhood

 

your name is written on the cards with a smell of cinnamon from Istanbul

on the table there lies a book by ortaçgil and the lemon peel in the teapot

the age of red dotted twenties

and the poem by turgut also belongs to us

the bergamot tea as well

 

yaşar kemal-birds are also gone

 

what’s more

a night with a thick neck

the lips pressed with tobacco

between us there is something naive

it is p o e t r y
