yeşil mor mavi
köfteler düşer pencerenden
Tarlabaşında bir sabah
kahvem soğudu
a sea turtle is hurrying,
hurrying to the sea,
it takes no notice of a land creature like me,
it came ashore,
the night before,
and dropped a thousand gleaming jewels,
it buried them deep,
Flowers are the diamonds of nature.
They blossom and bloom
like little turtles emerging from their shells.
The dewdrops are like jewels,
glistening glamourously in the sun.
Turtles are gods
On fallen trees, looking up.
Surveying the wild green
Water I approach without grace.
The turtles fell, as little gods fall,
Soft, and without diameter, into
I am a shell, holding the possibility of life
soft to touch, but strong, and yet, still vulnerable
I am an embryo,
racing to grow while being shadowed by death
I am a hatchling
