OUR
INVITATION
*“Galloping
from Far Asia and jutting out
into the Mediterranean like a mare’s head
this country is ours.”
into the Mediterranean like a mare’s head

What
can be said against the right word, my dude Nazim
What
can be said against the right word
We
Didn’t
come here by neighing horses
Didn’t
walk around on the homeland of anybody
Didn’t
dig up the vegetable garden of anybody
we
were already here.

DAVETİMİZ
Doğru
söze ne denir Nazım'ım
Doğru
söze ne denir
Biz
Kişneyen
atlarla gelmedik
Kimsenin
vatanında gezmedik
Kimsenin
bostanını eşmedik
biz
buradaydık.
