Bare

     Mevlut Ceylan 

Bare feet I have  

most of the time

In the night  

voices praise Him

On the roofs

cats and birds are the first  

To see the unity

The Letter

I received your letter

your accumulated regards

made me sad

I remembered

"But Lo! with hardship goeth ease,

Lo! with hardship goeth ease."

I was hopeful

till night like a corpse

stretched out cold before me
