YEDİ ŞİİR KAPISI

I.

İçeriyi görür
dışa bakarken
Janus’tur şiirin tanrısı

II.

Kendimi işiteyim diye söyledim
bütün şiirleri
bunca gürültü içinde

III.

Sen bağırınca
Şiir korkmuyor

IV.

Öyle uzaksın ki
seni şiirden başka nereye koyabilirim?

V.

Bir söz birini öldürmüştür şimdi
Ruha bulaşan zehir gibi

VI.

Dudaklarda başlıyor
Ayaklanma

VII.

Yazacaktım
Alev aldı sayfa

Yedi Şiir Kapisi

SEVEN GATES OF POETRY

ı.
While looking outside
He watches the inside
Janus is the God of Poetry

II.
I wrote all these poems
to hear myself
in such noise

III.
When you shout
the poem does not fear

IV.
So distant you are
Where else can I put you but in a poem?

V.
A word might have killed someone now
Like poison spread on the soul

VI.
The uprising starts
from the lips

VII.
I was going to write
the page caught fire

Seven Gates of Poetry

LAS SIETE PUERTAS DE LA POESÍA

I.
Mientras observa detenidamente hacia fuera
busca en su interior
Jano es el Dios de la poesía
II.
Escribí estos poemas
así que pude escucharme a mí mismo
entre tanto ruído
III.
Cuando gritas
no se asusta el poema
IV.
Tan lejano estás
¿Dónde podría situarte como no sea en un poema?
V.
Esta vez una palabra podría haber matado a alguien
como un veneo extendido sobre el alma
VI.
Toda rebelión comienza
en los labios
VII.
Iba a escribir
en la página ardiendo
