I recall him standing on the edge of the Marmara
Sea and staring silently at Istanbul. I recall him fo-
cusing on one point. It felt like I could feel his heart-
beat, I could clearly hear it…

ISTANBUL

Inside of you
napping memories
Of some past
Lucky days
raised their heads, woke up...
Stood in silence
On the coast of Marmora...

I wonder,
If the song of separation
Was the song of the seagulls
Who were making noise in the water
Fought and was nailed to the ground...
Forgot, scorching heat
I clearly hear
The song
Coming from your
Cracked soul...
