The Mountains

the mountains

are far from the relieved pain

rainbow is your palms

the prankish taste of the poem echoes

tomorrows

on diamond ships the poem

is a purple violet

about the ocean night ask the beloved

handfuls of loneliness

ache

TRANSLATED BY YAPRAK DAMLA YILDIRIM

ŞİİR

dağlara

dindirilmiş acılar uzak

avuçlarındır gökkuşağı

haylaz şiir tadı anımsatır

yarınları

mor bir menekşedir

şiir elmas gemilere binmiş

dildâra sor okyanus gecesini

avuç avuç yalnızlık

sancısı

Resurrection

too short were the lives

of colors to fly away

they looked for love in mirrors

the vitreous spring rituals

on the stage

withered the jasmines

coarse

were the lips of resurrection

the nights of shame veiled

the colors

too short…

TRANSLATED BY YAPRAK DAMLA YILDIRIM

DİRİLİŞ

kısaydı renklerin ömürleri

kanatlanıp uçmak için

aşkları aynalarda aradılar

camdan bahar ayinleri

sahnelenen

yaseminleri çürüttü

hoyrattı

dirilişin dudakları

utanç akşamları renkleri

örttü

kısaydı...

Innocence

monotonous loneliness

touched

my lost steps

the smell of innocence

is inscribed in hotel rooms

mistakes were a port

in the sea of passions

suicide cities

harbor journeys in their bosoms

in the mobilization of love

and in the grip of love

stick an arrow

to death

TRANSLATED BY YAPRAK DAMLA YILDIRIM

MASUMİYET

kaybolan adımlarıma

tekdüze yalnızlık

dokundu geçti

masumiyet kokusu

otel odalarına yazılı

yanılgılar, tutkular

denizinde bir limandı

aşkın seferberliğinde

intihar şehirleri

yolculukları barındırır göğüslerinde

aşkın pençesinde

ölüme bir zaman oku

saplar
