Lokman Kaya Poems

My face is covered in frost in all seasons
Are you cold just like me
Do you know how I loved you
​I am all alone within the population of millions
...

​The address of the dead is known
You touch their earth, you speak
You make your voice heard to them.
'Why did you come, what is your business here'
...

​The long bangs falling before her eyes
Very long black eyelashes
With eyes scattering bright hope
To steal light from the morning sun for her face
...

You don't go out anywhere, you don't wander
You don't stroll through the bazaar or the market
You don't meet with your neighbors either
You just stay there without getting bored
...

​Du gehst nirgendwohin, du wanderst nicht
Du spazierst nicht durch den Basar oder den Markt
Du triffst dich auch nicht mit deinen Nachbarn
So stehst du da, ohne dich jemals zu langweilen
...
