Let's Say You're Ready

by Turgut Uyar

Let's say you're set for a trip

"This could be his seclusion as well" says someone

Let's see, are you resilient enough?

What's your weapon?

First off, asphalt and cement

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

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

"These are remnants from childhood"

Says person who likes to joke

"He'd be outdone anyways"

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

Is oppressing me a little

A atomic all-powerfulness industrial plant project, let's say

A idle words concert in Holland

I cognize that I'm going to die anyways

But it casts my shadowiness in fascia of me

While the sun is upcoming from undeviating ahead

I'm dazed next to my body

I'm used to witticism in actual fact but

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

The yacht that sails over the waters.

(Translated from Turkish by Uğur Akinci)

An Evening Dream

by Turgut Uyar

Now the ships are ephemeral at a distance

My suspicion is sprawled all over and done with the deck.

Illuminated nights, sounds of easy on the ear instruments, food and baked goods.

I've got neither a commercial instrument nor any monetary system or a mate.

My suspicion palpitates as I look say me...

- "Wake up Turgut love, my disadvantaged one, get up up

This is Terme."

Trucks transversal the Terme bridge

Farmhands discussion in groups of cardinal to five

A night launches, fractional black, partially red

I lit my butt and go hindmost home...

- "Sail on ships, sheet on

Give my regards to everywhere you're heading

One day far away from all worries

I'll tie together you too."

(Translated from Turkish by Uğur Akinci)
