Don’t Look For Those Trees by Melih Cevdet Anday

Don’t look for those trees anymore
Like red mulberries in the summer noon
The memory of light and shadow
Spilling onto a table glows and burns out

Don’t look for those trees anymore
No one’s under them anymore
Only on the while cloth, light and shadow
At once we burn and burn out.

translated by Sidney Wade & Efe Murad
