STONE WRITING
Every word will become a stone eventuallypencil stone, stamp stone, plough stone, homeland stone
Once I’ve written about a soldier returned from war with a rose
soldier stone, writing stone, rose stone, roseland stone
As the lightning’s frost melts, the tongue of light
lightning stone, light stone, tongueland stone.
Every word will become a stone eventually
either poets and mourners or a churn scrubbed with ashes.
TAŞ YAZI
TAŞ YAZI
Her sözcük taşa dönecek bir günkalem taş, sıla taş, pul taş, pulluk taş
yazdımdı bir savaştan gülle dönen askeri
asker taş, yazı taş, gül taş, güllük taş
erirken şimşeğin buzu, ışığın dili
şimşek taş, ışık taş, dillik taş.
Her sözcük taşa dönecek bir gün
ya yırcılar ağıtçılar ya külle ovulan güğüm.
