İpler Uzar Yollarına

eğimi dakik

 eğimde

ay'ı 

santim santim hesaplar

ve

 kulağına aşina olmayan bir dille

 yalvaran mimikleri

frekans aralığında

oyalar

o'nun deyimiyle 

onlara

tekrarladıkça uykularını

tutsaklığını örer

kendi uydurması bir mille

tüm dönemeçlerde zihninde çalan şarkıyla

 büyüsünü satar fiskoslarına 

ipler uzar yollarına

arada bir sadece çakmağı değişir

bu o'nun tek saygıda bulunduğu aitlik

makaram sakin

The falling face of Ellis Island Was she truant or behind? What did you see back then? Was she divine? They were out there In the back roads Making time to drink their tea What did you sense back then? Did you feel defeat? One day they’ll find you westward Too dazed to find the scene Sitting on the red boat Sipping on the finest new vaccine Have faith in dark days They will turn around It takes one to know one Since you’ve been around And if you see something In a seated plastic smile You better say something If you haven’t seen it in a while (All hands in the doorway They never see you All hands in the doorway again) Have faith in dark days They will turn around It takes one to know one Since you’ve been around When it breaks down And the rest is seen “The fall” is all they’ll say When you come home And your home is gone And you’re on your own again Will you count twice When the count is out And you count Who’s on the floor The beat goes on Although you thought The writing’s on the door It’s just some time That’s better spent Working in the mind When you can’t retreat And you can’t speak sweet And you can’t fake all the time Will you wait and keep the weight Or will you break the door? It takes one to know the way Tell me, can you hope for more? Have faith in dark days They will turn around It takes one to know one Since you’ve been around
