from Ninth Anniversary by Nazim Hikmet on this morning, June 29, 2016

my head keeps loving, thinking, understanding,
my impotent rage goes on eating me,
and, since morning, my liver goes on aching. . .

  1. How sadly appropriate on this day in the aftermath of the atrocity at Ataturk airport. Deepest sympathy for the people of Istanbul – a city I have visited twice at different stages of my life.
