Short Poems by Işıl İlkter
a subtle kiss
on the bridge
that magnificent
mile.
.the windy city
blues in my ears
great Shirley Johnson
sings and my eyes
dripping tears.
.blue Chicago
my mother is like the sea
how big, beautiful and blue.
.la mère et la mer
put your head under the water,
tell me what you hear.
.silence
I envy the tranquillity of the sky
my mind is as jammed as
the Istanbul traffic.
.flight
lights out.
where is the cat?
.hypocrisy
I am forty-five stories high
I waver on the edge but
I know.
I am not brave to take the fall.
.stairway
Short Poems by Büşra Kurt
a plate of shrimp
and the smell of moss
on the coast of Tenedos
i know
there is no tomorrow
say you love me
say it for tonight
_tired
you are not allowed
to read this poem
in your country
_ban
how about loving me
until there is no more ‘you and me’
_1
don’t close your eyes
i’m cold
_fire
Short Poem by Hira Ekin Sürcan
Crush
A short bus ride
One glance
No sounds, no words
Only you and me
And all the imagination about how happy we would be.
