I don’t remember much but
I like the light and other things
——in those, I bleed.

Sporadic statics pierce my flesh
——the grace divine of feline bites,

as dazed I roam concocted spaces
through streets, the narrow, by
caustic drizzles reincarnated.

Istanbul, March 2026

“I am ill with the obstinacy of images, reflections in cracked mirrors.”

Anaïs Nin, The House of Incest, 1958
