Your intellectual perspective,
my dear, is like an endless smile.
Your intellectual perspective,
my dear, l hate it.
Your concepts, your notions and the candies in your mind-
l inevitably hate.  

My dear,
They are not alive!

"L'image qui a choqué le monde"
Un enfant encore
Un enfant cette fois-ci encore vivant
On a l'habitude
Des images des enfants
Veut dire l'innocence
Veut dire le futur
Mais c'est un enfant
Indifférent à son présence
Indifférent à ses blessures
Il regarde son sang
Comme si ceci n'est pas son sang
Mais comme l'image du sang.

"L'image qui a choqué le monde"
Mais c'est un mensonge
Une image verbale du mensonge
Aucune image ne peut plus choquer le monde
Les jeux de cadrage
Au service de propagande ont tuées
Déjà impitoyablement tout innocence
Et que comme beaucoup plus gravement
L'homme est tout perdu
Dans ses images de monde
Et le monde des images.

Tout qui nous reste à réaliser que
Les enfants ne sont pas des images
Qu'ils ne font pas du spectacle pour nos écrans.

The poetry will not die!
But it will change its form.
İt will be endless at first
Then it will be soundless,
To be invisible will be its sign.
And
İt will not be so easy to have emotions.
To feel will be something like Not to be.
Not to be
İn the endless poetry.

Selman Akıl

I was dreaming that
I was inside of a black hole
All alive
Conscious
And all naked
With a sunflower
With a little water
And with endless verses
Inside the black hole
The aim was to touch to multiverses
All alive
Conscious
And all naked

While l was sleeping under my silky old blanket.

To Mari


I can close my eyes
and like anyone else
in the universe, I can hear
the whispers of materials,
matter and masses.

Like anyone else
in the universe, I can hold
from the inside,
from their center
with my hands
any solid object.
A solid rock for example.
A solid water, a solid cloud.
Certainly, like anyone else
In the universe.
I can play football
in the storms, under the rivers
and on the rainbows.

I can create art works,
The masterpieces I mean
Just with a simple glance
Like anyone else
In the universe, I am
The energy of the universe,
And when I close my eyes
I am the universe itself.

I am the stone and
The shape of the wine
At the same time
I am the hands of
Everyone, the eyes of ground
I am the life in the blood
Of an unborn poet, I am
The magic of a poem.

I am the spirit of naked night,

I am made up
Of the heat, speed and light -
