… yakamoz –

swaying over the bosphorus

moonbeams

the first boats out to sea

fishing for hopes

it rains in the city –

in your mavi eyes

oblivious to the world

nostalgic tour –

the last ride downtown

with the red tram

your perfume inebriates

sequences of memories

lit lanterns and spices

at the grand bazaar

on the waterfront –

at lunch your smile

between tea and simit

night photos –

two lovers and behind

the red bridge …
