  mesela bi şiiri...
  
  i was
  wondering if the fire within your tears is a reflection
  of the city as it burns
  
  or the residue of desire and rage then again it could be
  a substance of my fear
  
  my muscles ache from the oars against the sea
  
  though the sea is soft
  a single footstep
  would betray us
  to whatever lies beneath
  
  you as i am the obdurate afterthought of an angel
  who sleeps in a limestone quarry
  as if it was already a fountain
  
  what became of us
  sometimes bold always bewildered
  our touch soft as ashes of neon?
  
  at one point i peeled ringlets of passion
  from myself like the skin of fruit
  flung it in the face of strangers
  
  then i was gone
  i don't know what they did with it
  
  now i scream
  like a dry, uncertain leaf
  spinning to earth
  
  once sane
  these expectations are like mandolin strings
  too-tightly tuned
  severed by moonlight
  
  god, sometimes my body just breaks down trembling
  
  the city so distant now
  its buildings bent like homeless men around a fire
  the bruised, blessed and brutal skies
