Remember that little girl at Afyon train station,
Who took off her shoes when she got on the train;
Think of the Varto earthquake, a box of milk powder,
And a bra sent as charity by the West.
The man whitewashed the walls of his house with the milk powder,
His wife kept the bra that was unknown to her,
She planned to use it as earmuffs in winter;
My God, was it really in your childhood days?...
Lots of people sitting on thresholds
I wish I would have loved you just for this.

Comments2This poem beautifully marries innocence and reality in a delicate but bold manner. Makes me feel grateful for what I have.
Hi!
I discovered your book and really loved the world and characters you created. I?m a commission-based artist and poet, creating custom poems and artwork inspired by authors? characters, stories, and themes.
I can create something specifically for your work, whether it?s a character poem, horror, fantasy, romance, mystery, thriller, drama, adventure, sci-fi, historical, comedy, or emotional piece, along with promotional artwork and poetry.
If you?re interested, I?d be happy to send you some examples of my work!
