Let's Say You're Ready

by Turgut Uyar

Let's say you're in position for a trip

"This could be his loneliness as well" says someone

Let's see, are you feisty enough?

What's your weapon?

First off, paving material and cement

All of a sudden, you'd be enclosed by water

What's more, you don't even cognise how to swim

"These are vestiges from childhood"

Says causal agency who likes to joke

"He'd be maltreated anyways"

Whereas to cognise the name of everything that I can't comprehend

Is oppressing me a little

A thermonuclear ascendancy manufacturing works project, let's say

A wind performance in Holland

I cognise that I'm going to die anyways

But it casts my darkness in face of me

While the sun is approaching from continuous ahead

I'm taken aback near my body

I'm in use to wit in reality but

I command on the fig tree that drills through with the rock

The cruiser that sails complete the actress.

(Translated from Turkish by Uğur Akinci)

An Evening Dream

by Turgut Uyar

Now the ships are passing at a distance

My hunch is sprawling all concluded the deck.

Illuminated nights, sounds of with a beat instruments, dairy product and breadstuff.

I've got neither a card nor any business or a soul.

My suspicion palpitates as I facade about me...

- "Wake up Turgut love, my bankrupt one, aftermath up

This is Terme."

Trucks irritable the Terme bridge

Farmhands conversation in groups of three to five

A period of time launches, half black, partly red

I lit my smoke and go rear legs surroundings...

- "Sail on ships, sail on

Give my regards to where you're heading

One day far distant from all worries

I'll connexion you too."

(Translated from Turkish by Uğur Akinci)
