#2427 -- Şerefiye Sarnıcı

Şerefiye Sarnıcı

time’s slow drip

 

like stalacmites, Cortinthian order

in the custody of ages

 

under this town, another

a name under a name

 

echo of the steps

a screaming child

 

this precious gleam –

ray thrown in for shadows

 

seven sleepers now long gone

 

witness the wearing away of an idea

 

water to wash, a kind of treasure

 

and what if the voices were kept?

 

every brick here some hand laid

 

a city has to drink 

 

some have dropped their coins in the water

these are the last coins of the world

 

there are stairs up to the other light

 

we hear the singing still
