i used to write more back then.
impressions of istanbul in april '05.
it's been a year.
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.
