Poem
Gonca Özmen
HANDKERCHIEF
Once I was black grapes for youI was juicy, I had plenty of fruit
My arms couldn't encompass the world
I turned and loved my shame
While you were smoothing out the night
I was a jacket an iron never knew
I rose high, I had plenty of fruit
Finally finally I grew into your body
I once smelled of sleep for you
I was all the times you forgot
The world was a friend, one of us
You couldn't stoop to look
Time doesn't last long for anyone
You wept and were cleansed
I was left a handkerchief singed at the edge

MENDİL
Ben sana kara üzümlerdim eskidenSuluydum, çok taneliydim
Dünya değildi kollarıma göre
Dönüp ayıbımı severdim
Geceyi düzledikçe sen
Ben ütü bilmez cekettim
Uzundum, çok taneliydim
Biter biter gövdene başlardım
Ben sana uyku kokardım eskiden
Unuttuğun zamanlardım
Bizden biri olurdu dünya
Eğilip de bakmazdın
Hem zaman kimine gitmez
Sen ağladın arındın
Ben ucu yanık mendil kaldım
