...sorry


I can look back at my wounds
or I can forget about them
Little things can make a hole in me,
I would look black, golden and silver 

I could drink some red
though I always drink black
I could smell the sun
But I smell the brown

I can walk
It may hurt
And I can leave my traces
Green and red
and a little piece of me

I can wait or run
all the same...
There may be chances that I lose
while I try to find something
New.

I may know where I am
I am maybe lost
The answers are there
But I won't look at them
Grey, white or black
And I say "No"

I tried so long, to make better mistakes
I always took something to give

I am coward or brave
Or maybe I'm just a whisper
And I always think
that the scarlett is the redness of a scar

I maybe slow while I am running fast
I can be a roar but an empty sound


In the end
I can just look at you
I can be white and black
and always have a red in me

I can be an empty glass
though I may burn
And I can love the water
while I'm becoming fire


I can believe that it is
only unnecessary,
But I enjoy
just to be able to say...

Repetition

I have one, you know
          So deep, I know
grey and ice lakes
          but I let it
I live instead


But you
      you make me
      you make me bring
      bring the cold
      cold and grey
      grey ice lakes back.

Sleepless Night in Tartu

shoes forsaken - drunks and waiters
bridge of sex
gas station coffee and waiting


and don't forget 
the infamous perversion that people remember

leave again as you came
but keep your fingers warm

Stop.. Wait... I'm... "Counting the Beats"

"I will now close my eyes, I will stop my ears, I will turn away my sense from their objects, I will even efface from my consciousness..."                         Rene Descartes, Meditations


So, yes. 
And here I am at the middle of nothing.
That's how I started to here that song again,
that song from a long time ago,
that song that I heard as I lick my salty lips


You, love, and I,
(He whispers) you and I,
And if no more than only you and I,
What care you or I?



Counting the beats,
Couting the slow heart beats,
The bleeding to death of time in slow heart beats,
Wakeful they lie.



Cloudless day,
Night, and a cloudless day,
Yet the huge storm will burst upon their heads one day
From a bitter sky.



Where shall we be,
(She whispers) where shall we be,
When death strikes home, O where then shall we be
Who were you and I?



Not there but here,
(He whispers) only here,
As we are, here, together, now and here,
Always you and I.


Counting the beats,
Counting the slow heart beats,
The bleeding to death of time in slow heart beats,
Wakeful they lie.

Dörtlük

Yeryüzüne tohum gibi saçmışım ölülerimi,
kimi Odesa'da yatar, kimi İstanbul'da, Pırağ'da kimi
En sevdiğim memleket yeryüzüdür.
Sıram gelince yeryüzüyle örtün üzerimi.

Nazım Hikmet 1959

"A road is an identifiable route, way or path between places." -Wikipedia.




You road I enter upon and look around,
I believe you are not all that is here,
I believe that much unseen is also here...
Walt Whitman- From Song of the Open Road

...I was going south and west, because if I went south or east I would run out of world too soon...

I ate the apple!
And it was delicious.
I ate the wisdom of God!
I ate all the sins that you can imagine.
It was juicy, it was crispy, it was tasty.
I gave mortality to human kind, I gave a reason to live.
Yes, I ate the apple, and it was delicious!
I ate the apple, never felt regret!
I ate it, I drank it, I washed myself in its juice.

Yes, I am the reason.
I am the mother of reasons!
The reason you die.
The reason you live.
The reason that you suffer.
The reason that you hate.
The reason that you feel.
