Ortuculer Geliyor

Yesille yikadiklari bedenleri,
kapkara bezleri ile
ortuculer geliyor.

Bir ellerinde kutsal kitaplari,
diger ellerinde taslari,
silahlari,
tetikleri.
 
Kapkara bir sise boguyorlar
mutluluk dolu asiklari
temiz kalpli hatalari
cagdas yasami.
 
Ortuculerden merhamet dile
tanridan degil.
 
Yaptiklarinin hesabini bu hayatta ver,
oteki degil.
 
Ort tum hayatini
kapkara bir carsafla.
 
Ortuculer geliyor,
sozde tanri namina.

Two Days Earlier, Two Days Too Late

We could have had a wonderful relationship.
Yes, you and I.
I could have taught you rollerblading.
You could have taken me rowing at the Park.
And I know
you would have listened with intent and patience
as I hesitantly would have explained to you
my life, my school, my work, my family
and why they all depress me
into ten hours a day sleep sessions.

We could have shared the same newspaper.

Two days later I was going to call you.
You went to the movies.
At age 25, you had a heart attack.
I asked around, you weren’t standing
when death came to you.
How horrific of an image
your entire body hitting the polished floor
as your soul departed.
But you were sitting.

Now I wonder,
should I have called you two days earlier
rather than two days later.

Sheppard

Heart and mind must agree
Will we ever see
Life is my blind Sheppard
And I am
A captain
With no map, no compass
Sway sway away far away
My anchor anxious to meet a plane
Hungry but sadly no
For I desire nothing
But the taste of love

Elveda

Hatirliyorum.
Soguk ve karanlik bir sabahti.
Erken saatlerde kalkmis hazirdim.
Bilinmeyen, istemedigim bir yolculuga
Cok, cok uzaklarda…
Istemeyerek indim merdivenlerden.
Istemeyerek bindim bir arkadasin arabasina.
Ucmayali uzun zaman olmustu.
Ucak yemeklerini dusundum.
Son bir etrafima baktim.
Elveda cocuklugum
Elveda dostlarim
Elveda sokakta benimmis gibi baktigim hayvanciklarim.
Elveda odam.
Elveda sehrim.
Elveda.
