PAIN IS FULL OF LIFE
©
Farouk Asvat
Pain is full of life.
Because memories last
longer than dreams.
I did not expect
You to wait
For my dead body
To come to you:
Because pain is the
colour of love
And death is
transparent
If you know
The colour of hunger

Acı Hayatla Doludur
Turkish
translation by © İlyas Tunç
Acı
hayatla doludur
Çünkü
daha uzun sürer hatıralar düşlerden.
Ummuyordum
Bekleyeceğini
Benim
ölü bedenimin
Sana
döneceğini:
Çünkü
aşkın rengindedir acı
Ve
saydamdır ölüm
Biliyorsanız
Açlığın
rengini.
