Turk sair ve yazar Gulten Akin Cankocak'in olum yildonumu (4 Kasim 2015)
Kactik kentin bizi sarmayan sesinden
denizin kis artigi sessizligine
izlendigimizi biliyorduk, hem de kendimiz kendimizi
bir umut, bu kez boyle olmayabilir ve oteki
susar bagislariz biz bizi
gece kusu aynı zaman araligini kullaniyor
cigligini bosaltirken yeryuzune
yuregin ve saatin kullandigi araligi
yikilmis koyleri, gocmus olanlari yollarda
cocuklari, ruhlarini o dogulmus yerde birakilmis
gozlerinin ardi bosalmis yaslilari
erkekleri, utangac kadinlari, ofkesi kendini bitiren
onlari onlari onlari tasidigimizi
her ciglikta yeniden animsaya
cogalta. yargilanmis, hukmu hayatina dusulmus
biri halinde..
gece aci azigimizi paylasiyor bizimle
uyumuyor uyutmuyor uslu durmuyor
oysa guller vardi once aklimizda
igdeleri gorduk zambaklari da
ayartildigimiz guzel kokulara
kok edinmis aska, derin bulusmaya
biz onlari bulurduk bulmasina
gece, kus cigligi yuregi cildirtan araliklarla
yiten dinginlik
gunduzu bekledik
We escaped the sounds of a city that didn't embrace us,
fled the silent remains of a winter sea.
We knew we were being watched
and we watched ourselves
with one hope, that this time, it would be different, not like before
In silence, we forgave ourselves for hoping
As heart and time inhabit the same space
so, in equally measured intervals,
the Night Bird release its cry to earth
And the people of fallen villages
the ones who were forced to the road;
the children too,
forced to leave behind
their souls,
their birth place -
behind their eyes is an emptiness.
Their elders and women, dishonoured.
Their men, defeated by anger.
Those Those Those
whom we carried
With each shriek of the Night Bird,
we remember more keenly
the sentence of our fallen lives,
The state we've been reduced to.
The Night Bird shares our plight, our bitter resolve
It doesn't sleep, it can't sleep, it doesn’t stop -
Yet at one time, we had roses in our minds.
We looked at fruit trees and lilies,
we were seduced by beautiful scents
we had passion that grew roots, deep encounters.
We found what we were meant to find
The cries of the Night Bird
make us feel mad with courage.
And our fears dissolve into calm
as we wait for morning.
