( i ) I lucked out on table 4 last night window seat baseboard heat with intimate passages from Ginsberg in his purest and most evident form Cover-all Carl was draped in his usual garb (turning pages of yesterday's news) animating, culturing, bantering on the fate of the Greek barber (in an accent of which I'm not so sure) His cronies looked on (with a twisted conviction) countering with their own tales of ingovernance and woe *did you know that Panasonic lost 5 billion last quarter?* The evening moved in time lapse... with painted winds, streaming lights and a host of high school girls running cold Maleah passed on her late shift (checking the pile and trough), patronized the boys and called it a night ( ii ) The bald man is back at it again bickering at the till (something about a cold free coffee or 99 cents or the coloured guy behind him who got it hot) a kind Filipino is trying to get it done (at 8 bucks per) losing her cool and shedding a quiet tear Wonder what the Purewals or Haitians or Cossacks would have to say about this grim public reminder, wonder what this sad f*ck will do tonight... without his bus pass or sling sack or broken Turkish stems

Fate of the Greek Barber
the virgins ravenous vault college girl ****** a seething abashment with mixed loyalties who belongs to no one ferocious for annihilation *** blast poured out from essence spread shanks wet spot hot shots meditative and gleaming huge hearted she is one and many choking on desire far flung in Turkish bath fantasies a singing **** tearing heaps of suns like burns and spatters her *** a high pitched note his **** rage at bay poised hot **** **** gasping fire *** criminal's foot kissing ****** biters

College Girl ******
Starbucks for the beach sleeper, cigarettes for the cruise ship worker, around the world a further three times more with a six-a-day job, one on shore. She smiled with Gatsby glare. She smiled with fair, tied back hair. She smiled. And how her love for Poe and Wilde found its way to my ear a mere three year veer around time itself. Turkish delight is not a food nor a sweet but a lady who gives a discreet smile to those she meets. My cafe in my street has you across from me and the books I read have you printed in an uppercase key, black on the white and bound by the spine for you are the cruise ship lady, the lover of mine.

STARBUCKS ON THE ROCKS. WHISKY IN THE CUPS
A slow walk up Centennial and I still can’t find the place it's menacing cold, and muted and the street sweeper and winter breeze move the Turkish blend and dust pack A novice mixed duet plays Brahms on broken strings the erhu and overcoat veiling a blue heeler and sphinx Maggianos is settled in the center block’s luminance and seasonal drape it's festive warmth bringing home Bedford Falls; the flavour and character and social circles Annie’s playing and the keeper's singing (his word pool and slander raising everyone in arms!) the crowd chants and mayhem breaks as crawlers and contemporaries smash their steins Dark alleys and dripping holes hold a grim reminder of the pierced underside paddies flutter and forge their words with a broad manifesto Night gardens come alive (slowly sapping the respite) hunched figures and ladies in lace shuffle inside the big orange door

The Orange Door
An inland blockade from Israel cut off life giving supplies to the Palastians in Gaza. This happened around 2010. Formulated was the "GAZA FREEDOM FLOATILLA". Their strategy was to dock in Gaza-away from land-and deliver much needed life saving supplies. However, the flotilla was seized- on the sea -by the Israeli Navy consisting of one hundred and fifty sailors. Around ten people from one of the flotilla ships were killed and  brutality reigned supreme. ( a Turkish ship fought back ) Incarcerations from the floatilla to Israel's jails took place. And so I dedicate this writing to these wonderful people of conscience and their brave hearts upon the sea... Days of siege Days of conscience Days of hope Sailing to their destination Days remembered Day's compassion Days remembered these needed cargoes held Engines turning on paths of caution; love is carried on sailing symbols Each ship and boat will shout her name Will shout in spirit dear Rachel Corrie,dear Rachel Corrie Will shout in spirit dear Rachel Corrie Brave hearts you suffered so upon the sea Brave hearts you fought for truth, hope and dignity Brave hearts on floating love Brave hearts you are that peaceful powerful dove Brave hearts you are our guiding light Brave hearts you pierced that darkened blackened night Brave Hearts upon the sea...

Brave Hearts Upon The Sea
[Dedicated to Austin Osman Spare] Have pity ! show no pity ! Those eyes that send such shivers Into my brain and spine : oh let them Flame like the ancient city Swallowed up by the sulphurous rivers When men let angels fret them ! Yea ! let the south wind blow, And the Turkish banner advance, And the word go out : No quarter ! But I shall hod thee -so ! While the boys and maidens dance About the shambles of slaughter ! I know thee who thou art, The inmost fiend that curlest Thy vampire tounge about Earth's corybantic heart, Hell's warrior that whirlest The darts of horror and doubt ! Thou knowest me who I am The inmost soul and saviour Of man ; what hieroglyph Of the dragon and the lamb Shall thou and I engrave here On Time's inscandescable cliff ? Look ! in the plished granite, Black as thy cartouche is with sins, I read the searing sentence That blasts the eyes that scan it : **** and SET be TWINS." A fico for repentance ! Ay ! O Son of my mother That snarled and clawed in her womb As now we rave in our rapture, I know thee, I love thee, brother ! Incestuous males that consumes The light and the life that we capture. Starve thou the soul of the world, Brother, as I the body ! Shall we not glut our lust On these wretches whom Fate hath hurled To a hell of jesus and shoddy, Dung and ethics and dust ? Thou as I art Fate. Coe then, conquer and kiss me ! Come ! what hinders? Believe me : This is the thought we await. The mark is fair ; can you miss me ? See, how subtly I writhe ! Strange runes and unknown sigils I trace in the trance that thrills us. Death ! how lithe, how blithe Are these male incestuous vigils ! Ah ! this is the spasm that kills us ! Wherefore I solemnly affirm This twofold Oneness at the term. Asar on Asi did beget Horus twin brother unto Set. Now Set and Horus kiss, to call The Soul of the Unnatural Forth from the dusk ; then nature slain Lets the Beyond be born again. This weird is of the tongue of Khem, The Conjuration used of them. Whoso shall speak it, let him die, His bowels rotting inwardly, Save he uncover and caress The God that lighteth his liesse.

cimen altinda gecen 225 gunden sonra benden daha *** sey biliyor olmalisin. kanini emip bitireli epey oldu, artik bir sepetteki kuru bir cubuksun. bu isler boyle mi oluyor? bu odada hala ask saatlerinin golgeleri var. birakip gittiginde asagi yukari herseyi alip gittin. geceleri beni ben olmaya koymayan kaplanlarin onunde diz cokuyorum. senin sen olman asla bir daha olmayacak. kaplanlar beni buldular ama artik umurumda bile degil. translated by somebody

Jane Icin (For Jane - In Turkish)
Tailored suit, Turkish smokes in a fancy silver case Gold buttons, collar straight, black tie neatly pressed in place. Who is he? Well, you must make a deal to learn. Give me two cents for my trouble, And a cigarette to burn. A man made up of shadows and illusions black and gray; He's a quaint manifestation of the muse you've thrown away. All of your escaped emotions, All your unmitigated strife, Packaged up in flesh and bone and given dusky life. He breaks apart unfinished thoughts without regard to you, And uses them to flesh out patchwork dreams of rosy hue. But happy dreams are wrought of love, And though Wolf vainly tries, Internal nightmares oft bleed through and mar his cheerful lies. He takes your lost sincerities and shapes them up like clay, Gives them form and simple purpose, In a rhythmic, pleasing way. The Wolf is but a poet, his goal you mustn't misconstrue For he will tear apart your soul And smiling, give it back to you.

The Wolf on Red Street.
I am as bitter as pure cocoa As sour as a warhead More layered than a jawbreaker, To protect myself from someones sweet tooth. But I hope one day, Someone sees that I am actually Sweeter than taffy, More vulnerable than cotton candy, And more delightful than Turkish delights. I hope to fulfill someone's cravings.

Australia takes her pen in hand To write a line to you, To let you fellows understand How proud we are of you. From shearing shed and cattle run, From Broome to Hobson's Bay, Each native-born Australian son Stands straighter up today. The man who used to **** his drum", On far-out Queensland runs Is fighting side by side with some Tasmanian farmer's sons. The fisher-boys dropped sail and oar To grimly stand the test, Along that storm-swept Turkish shore, With miners from the west. The old state jealousies of yore Are dead as Pharaoh's sow, We're not State children any more — We're all Australians now! Our six-starred flag that used to fly Half-shyly to the breeze, Unknown where older nations ply Their trade on foreign seas, Flies out to meet the morning blue With Vict'ry at the prow; For that's the flag the Sydney flew, The wide seas know it now! The mettle that a race can show Is proved with shot and steel, And now we know what nations know And feel what nations feel. The honoured graves beneath the crest Of Gaba Tepe hill May hold our bravest and our best, But we have brave men still. With all our petty quarrels done, Dissensions overthrown, We have, through what you boys have done, A history of our own. Our old world diff'rences are dead, Like weeds beneath the plough, For English, Scotch, and Irish-bred, They're all Australians now! So now we'll toast the Third Brigade That led Australia's van, For never shall their glory fade In minds Australian. Fight on, fight on, unflinchingly, Till right and justice reign. Fight on, fight on, till Victory Shall send you home again. And with Australia's flag shall fly A spray of wattle-bough To symbolise our unity — We're all Australians now.

Yahya Kemal Beyatli translations Yahya Kemal Beyatli (1884-1958) was a Turkish poet, editor, columnist and historian, as well as a politician and diplomat. Born born Ahmet Âgâh, he wrote under the pen names Agâh Kemal, Esrar, Mehmet Agâh, and Süleyman Sadi. He served as Turkey’s ambassador to Poland, Portugal and Pakistan. Sessiz Gemi (“Silent Ship”) by Yahya Kemal Beyatli loose translation by Nurgül Yayman and Michael R. Burch for the refugees The time to weigh anchor has come; a ship departing harbor slips quietly out into the unknown, cruising noiselessly, its occupants already ghosts. No flourished handkerchiefs acknowledge their departure; the landlocked mourners stand nurturing their grief, scanning the bleak horizon, their eyes blurring... Poor souls! Desperate hearts! But this is hardly the last ship departing! There is always more pain to unload in this sorrowful life! The hesitations of lovers and their belovèds are futile, for they cannot know where the vanished are bound. Many hopes must be quenched by the distant waves, since years must pass, and no one returns from this journey. Full Moon by Yahya Kemal Beyatli loose translation by Nurgül Yayman and Michael R. Burch You are so lovely the full moon just might delight in your rising, as curious and bright, to vanquish night. But what can a mortal man do, dear, but hope? I’ll ponder your mysteries and (hmmmm) try to cope. We both know you have every right to say no. The Music of the Snow by Yahya Kemal Beyatli loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch This melody of a night lasting longer than a thousand years! This music of the snow supposed to last for thousand years! Sorrowful as the prayers of a secluded monastery, It rises from a choir of a hundred voices! As the organ’s harmonies resound profoundly, I share the sufferings of Slavic grief. Then my mind drifts far from this city, this era, To the old records of Tanburi Cemil Bey. Now I’m suddenly overjoyed as once again I hear, With the ears of my heart, the purest sounds of Istanbul! Thoughts of the snow and darkness depart me; I keep them at bay all night with my dreams! Translator’s notes: “Slavic grief” because Beyatli wrote this poem while in Warsaw, serving as Turkey’s ambassador to Poland, in 1927. Tanburi Cemil Bey was a Turkish composer.

It’s really a feeble attempt to make something between one and five work in our daily lives. They have gone from an intriguing idea and amount of worth to a silly little gift grandparents hand out freely on Valentine’s Day along with a card worth more than the contents. They've never set foot in any wallet of mine; they simply always made their way back behind my socks. The valuable of least worth I owned was never spent strictly based on rarity. These days you are a mistake just like all the other rarer coins like that three-legged buffalo nickel only I could maybe pay a bit of college tuition with one of those. You can bring in about four Lira though; enough to get a big bowl of any kind of noodles and sauce they have down at that restaurant in Istanbul near the Grand Bazaar. That night I stopped a little closer to my hotel and spent my last four on a beer with my meal. We kept walking and saw that young boy shivering as always against the cold vents that produced less heat than my freezer back home. No change jingled in my pockets because I had eaten my fill. A thousand suns heated my back without that jacket but the warmth was bitter like stolen Turkish Delights. I couldn't tell if he was going to drape that jacket around his tiny body or have it stolen by one of the bigger kids. We still spoke though. I know that was the day I discovered the language of the universe.

On A Two Dollar Bill
Day by day I lay it down, “All right men, here’s the plan; you go on in, and get 7 of them (because 7’s a holy number) and we wouldn’t want to offend any defender of the other inclination. Our nation would suffer at their loss, and that would cost too much in terms of net profit, would disturb a delicate balance, we wouldn’t transgress or progress, rather stagnate, in a backwards state of mind." You told me you liked my poetry. But would you really if you could see what I see the ladies hooked on Turkish series and not enough men to count fingers on? Our men left long ago, got hooked on the same show we were watching, and it was alarming how it was cut with some breaking news, something about how Syria was going to lose another plane, and we felt some pain and flipped the station, where we were met with temptation masked as the latest ads only to add to the list of the things we’ll never have. So much for bad TV. Could we please see something real? And I fear the Kardashian’s aren’t quite enough, you see, I’ve caught onto the bluff that **** must be staged. But that’s ok I’ll let it pass, perhaps some movie to catch my attention. Attention becoming another word for distraction, and we carry that emblem all around, hoping for anything to evolve this frown into laughter whether humorous, devilish, or maniacal in tone. If not TV, reach for your phone. Anything to get to another zone, another place, just space out because anywhere is better than here. Where is the end, be near? - I want to meet it smiling.

Daydreaming Of Getting Roughed Up By An Old Lady Dressed As Darth Vader Drinking Kool Aid
At the Saudi Arabian Consulate, In Istanbul, Turkey, I hear Something dreadful happened, although Details are as yet unclear. Saudi born Jamal Khashoggi, Journalist for the Washington Post, Entered the consulate knowing that It might not be a welcoming host. An Apple Watch might seem useless. Khashoggi's Watch, nevertheless, Recorded his brutal beating and ****** According to the Turkish press. But was it an Apple Watch, or had Turkish authorities bugged the room? Whatever the case, people are certain That that’s where Khashoggi met his doom. We know he entered the building whole. We're waiting to hear more news releases, For many fear that the journalist, Exited the building in pieces. When asked if he'd condemn the Saudis If they had committed the ghastly deed, Trump at first appeared reluctant To criticize them or intercede. The Saudis pay billions of dollars For weapons, he said, to the USA. And what's-his-name wasn't even An American citizen anyway. Later, Trump admitted that We need a thorough investigation. But sanctions involving money? No, That would severely hurt our nation. Meanwhile, the Saudis **** innocent Yemenis with the weapons they buy, And rectitude falls by the wayside As bank accounts multiply. -by Bob B (10-13-18)

I can’t count the amount of times you’ve saved me since first class and up to seventh’ where I was lost in life you guided my way so meaningful after that when I made my hardest choices which shaped me you were right beside in some cases you were the first one I turned to thoughts I haven’t even dared to think about by myself with you they became sentences with reason sometimes you were the hardest one to talk to admitting to you meant reality and finally letting go green summer grass wandering around all options are open that’s how it feels with you when I broke down winter snow pointless sitting in your bed took away the feeling of meaningless I don’t know how but soft warm pillows comforting and isolating it felt just like that the world gained brightness and color once more now I can see your sorrow and I want to surround you with blankets life won’t disappear from you I promise it’s okay to rest your head and sometimes life doesn’t take us where we’d hoped but we'll figure it out somehow we always have green fence and water wars old diarys collecting thoughts our land by the rainbow turkish delight and a pleasant invite to the kids party your summer resort and mine throwing snowballs at kids making videos and songs just dropping by doing nothing eighteen years still counting you are and will always be my good friend

in spirit at all times
MAE HIRAETH ARNA AMDANOT ( THERE'S LONELINESS ON ME FOR YOU ) Her shadow is laughing. Her shadow is taller than a tree. She is a key for which there is no door a Polaroid photograph dying in the sun ( fading into the nothing from which it comes ). My mind slashes through time grasps this memory of her clutches it to itself until once again Death orders it to . . .let go. It...does so. Her shadow laughing. Her shadow taller than a tree. *** Hiraeth, pronounced "here eyeth" is a Welsh word that has no direct English translation. It is defined it as homesickness tinged with grief or sadness over the lost or departed. It is a mix of longing, yearning, nostalgia, wistfulness, or an earnest desire...a homesickness for a home you cannot return to, or that never was. Hiraeth is best buddies with the Portuguese concept of saudade (a key theme in Fado music), Brazilian Portuguese banzo (more related to homesickness), Turkish gurbet, Galician morriña, Romanian dor.

MAE HIRAETH ARNA AMDANOT ( THERE'S LONELINESS ON ME FOR YOU )
The singing birds may waken you in the morning, only to expose you to another day of uncertain disconnectedness. However, the late afternoon handling of newspapers could result in textured fingers and a black nose, whilst ice-cold rain pelts against your jacket with a forceful concerto of magical precipitation. As you stand dripping wet, my indulgent adolescent of traumatic naivety, always remember that Popeye will be speeding hastily toward your confectionary impulses. The dog behaved like a royal prince, as he gracefully licked ice-cream from the cone of his masters’ desire. Further Turkish amazement could be found in the palm of his hand, whilst snowflakes fell, and the tracks of police vehicles gradually faded during blizzards of the night. Silence truly speaks across pink morning skies, as we gaze out of the window into resounding flights of fancy.
