Poet: Işıl Ayça Akkuş

---

She hesitated a lot.

Taking deep breaths,

chasing the trails,

raindrops fall by the glamorous darkness.

A stranger indeed.

An unanimous existence in the blowing winds.

I have been with my parents

for quite some time now,

I got selected out of love.

I was a present

from a gentlemen

to the owner of his heart.

I had fun days,

I had dust.

I waited a shelf

just like a record longed to be heard.

There it is, the moment.

She is a stranger indeed.

A walker, to be precise.

We thought the species extincted years ago,

but oh well.

The gentleman says goodbye,

his wife has a better friend now.

I was so young,

yet became the oldest quick.

This girl tooks me with her

through all the lands.

I am no horse,

yet she is a warrior,

and I feel obliged

to surrender my wheels for her will.
