Istanbul and the Kid
The kid gets out of a book,
In a student neighborhood;
Crossing bridges,
Walking streets
Starts a levitation
Without notice.
A terrible storm
Instead of physics.
Byzantine churches definitely brunette.
Sephardic synagogues chat Latino.
Ottoman mosques still proud of the empire.
The air, Jesus, the blood.
Is inquisition laughing at this?
The emptiness, the form, the substance.
So warm that presence and so close!
Now the storm at its peak:
The kid nothing but...
The city, the history, the space.
Everything chaos, anything.
Alla hümme salli aala!
God touches his face.
