DON\'T HUSH

The woman is not in sight, not on either side,
not on the balcony not on the lanai
it seems she enclosed herself in loneliness
the lounger, the book, her eye-glasses
lay thereby
she hushed and drew herself back
she knows
every dialogue changes something in our lives.

SUSMA

SUSMA

Kadın görünmüyor, iki yanda da yok
balkonda verandada, hayır yok
kapatmış kendini yalnızlığa
şezlong kitap gözlük
orda öylecene
sustu kaldı, geriye geriye çekilerek
biliyor
her konuşma bir şeyi değiştirir hayatımızda

she knows
every dialogue changes something in our lives.

the lounger, the book, her eye-glasses

she knows
every dialogue changes something in our lives.
