Roll Syllable
June is fly experisson what you want to tell
but remmember where you were
as ı combine thinking trees with spider silks
ı ran with the sisters of the sands
foam greetings interesting things fall from your cheeks
roll syllable, what the sky heards
ground carved by the wind, the song the stone sings
it goes down between no names
that beliefs you effuse, some explosions
my inscrutable side passes through twisted axis
Translated by Ruhsan İskifoğlu
Loose Beginnings
dazed sea salt of the next times
wakes up here baffled areas
while hell is eating the fruit of the change
we saw a visit that sucking the air they never understood us
even so crabby waters can cross our kness
regular acid how else breaks small judgments
strange brine of myht
sourness experiences and guesses
This head tied with a loop on the neck
İt looses maturity in the chorous of heap whose voice is muted
Translated by Ruhsan İskifoğlu
