  SON YAKARIŞ

Biliyorum
Annemin dualarıydın
Kendi yoktu ben vardım
25 gün ve gece
Kızına dileğiydin
Her olmayan nefesinde

İsmail'ime....


LAST PLEA

I know
You were my mother’s dream
When self was absent; I was there
For twenty five long days, long nights
Her daughter’s source of happiness
Was what she begged for with the breath
She breathed mechanically till death
Drew breath
From her

To Ismail, My Love...
