i used to write more back then.
impressions of istanbul in april '05.

there is still
the coral red nail polish
in her drawer.
the smell of earth
and those tiny blue flowers
on her grave.
i didn't cry then
but i yelled at
an infinite abyss of
apple blossoms.
istanbul.
the king of trumpery.
taxi rides along the sea.
dead jelly fish, wrinkles, pines
and those dirty alley cats
i miss.
