Gülten Akın

THE SHIRT

No one taught me how to say
farewell to my sadness
with a crooked smile on my face
the one I’d sewn became invisible
so I showed them the shirt they made me wear

GÖMLEK

GÖMLEK

Hüzünle vedalaşmayı
bana öğretmediler
yüzümde eğri takılmış gülümseme
Görünmez kaldı kendi diktiğim
Bana giydirdikleri gömleği gösterdim.

THE SHIRT
