He slept little / turned away quickly / from the carved stones of man

 

 

The Birth

By Mevlut Ceylan 

In a roofless house

a child was born

 

Side by side with hatred and love

he grew solidly

 

He slept little

turned away quickly

from the carved stones of man

 

The colour of his thoughts

and waves of his sounds

appeared in a blurred picture

 

He is mature now

as far as we can guess
