Metamorphosis

July 5, 2023Jane Icin (For Jane – In Turkish)
cimen altinda gecen 225 gunden sonra benden daha cok sey biliyor olmalisin.
kanini emip bitireli epey oldu, artik bir sepetteki kuru bir cubuksun.
bu isler boyle mi oluyor?
bu odada hala ask saatlerinin golgeleri var.
birakip gittiginde asagi yukari herseyi alip gittin.
geceleri beni ben olmaya koymayan kaplanlarin onunde diz cokuyorum.
senin sen olman asla bir daha olmayacak.
kaplanlar beni buldular ama artik umurumda bile degil.

Charles Bukowski
Charles Bukowski (1920-1994) was an American poet and novelist known for his gritty, raw writing style and unflinching portrayals of life on the margins. He wrote numerous volumes of poetry, including "Love is a Dog From Hell" and "The Last Night of the Earth Poems," and his novels, such as "Post Office" and "Women," have become cult classics.
