Kasida by Orhan Veli Kanık
A Bursa blade in her hand,
A red scarf around her neck.
You whittle sticks all day
In Filya field.
For you I’m digging under walls,
You’re climbing over them.
translated by George Messo

Nights by Cyn. Zarco
When I’m without you
I sleep on the couch
or in my bed with books,
pen & paper.
I can’t decide
which I love best–
you lying next to me
like an open book
or an open book
lying next to me.
