4am in Maltepe

a lone rooster
his solitary voice crowing
for those of us awake
in pre-dawn hours
to heed
our hopes our fears
on alert
in the darkness
of this world

      • It helps. By the way, I read the excerpt from Harry and it’s on my list. I don’t know why but it seems like there is a part of your life hidden between those lines. I am looking forward to checking out the rest of your books as well. Thank goodness for my Kindle, it allows me to keep a large library in a small space. ☺☺☺

      • Thank you, Patricia. I actually had yours on my kindle and was halfway though it when I lost all the books in my library. Now I have to call amazon’s customer service to have them walk me through getting all those ebooks back because I couldn’t do it from the instructions they sent me. But I was enjoying your experiences in Italy and will get back to it even if I have to re-purchase it again.
