are your feet tired
baby
from all that running
in my mind
she says
that seductive smile
slightly parted lips
the hint of a tongue
lying in wait
all this
her eyes say
and heaven too
only seconds
from now
hear my knock
again that smile
now open the door
invitation
Invitation by Orhan Veli Kanik
I’m waiting.
Come when the weather is such
That there can be no turning back.
translated by Talat Sait Halman
