SONG FROM ANOTHER TIME
A song from another time survived with me.
It follows me wherever I go.
It rushes after me.
I crumple it up, a small piece of paper, and throw it away.
But I peel the paper open and smooth it out whenever I remember one of my dead friends.
The book on a wood table.
A song from another time
survived with me.
—Dunya Mikhaïl, from THE IRAQI NIGHTS (2014), translated by Kareem James Abu-Zeid.

This morning the sudden sound of Canada geese / squalling over was followed by a velvet silence.❡

Bosphorus Approximations
Sometimes I wonder if belonging is to be approached gently, as if an abandoned thing.
It feels really special for this poem to have found a home in @aaww-nyc.bsky.social's #TheMargins at the tail end of #aapiheritagemonth! Many thanks to the team for looking after this little zuihitsu on the Bosphorus 🕌🫖🌹🐈 #PoetryTuesday
