POEMS BY VURAL BAYRIL BAHADIR

DIGNUS ORNATUS   Bonnefoy için…

  süs yatıştırır.

  kuş bulunuştur
yontulmuş kuş
buluş

  taşta çizili varoluş
bulutun dağılışı
duyumsal

  bir müzik gibi silinmek
bulutta yok olup gitmek

  sisin nüfuzuna nasıl
bir açılış bu yüreklerde

  külden ve demirden
göğün altında

  karanlığın töreni
uyuyan düşünce

  düşünceyle güneş arasında
yokluğun öğlesinde

  ölü göğün altında
gölgesiz alevin rüzgârına
kapılma

  “nemli ilkyaz akşamlarının
yeşil karanlıkları” çağırsa da

    DIGNUS ORNATUS

  for Bonnefoy…

  ornament soothes.

  bird is presence
sculpted bird
invention

  existence drawn on stone
cloud dispersion
sensuous

  fading away like a music
vanishing off in the cloud

  what an opening in hearts
to the influence of the mist

  under the heavens
of ash and iron

  the ceremony of the dark
the sleeping thought

  between the thought and the sun
in the noon of absence

  under the dead heavens
to the wind of shadeless flame
do not give way

  even though the “green darks of
moist spring” summon

  Translator: Yaprak Damla Yıldırım

SAHİL

                                     Canan Özdemir’in hatırasına…

  Değsen, kopuverecekti oysa
dalgınlığın lehimi. Sen, akşam
saatlerine akan manolya. Yokluk
hissi.

  Köklerden dallara, kainatın geri çekilişi.

  Bak, elbisemin içinde yalnız
ruhum var… ateş ve altın
damlar göğün oluklarından
şimdi çocukluğa.

  Çılgın öteki! Kimse değil artık
kimsenin sahili buralarda!

  Yaz seyreldi. Kelimeler hercai
melekler olan yaz. Kumsalda
köpükler prensesi görünmedi
bir daha.

  Ah küçük kızkardeş, ah bahtsız manolya.
Bizse hüznümüzden başka neyiz ki
bu durmadan deri değiştiren
insanlar arasında?

  Güzelim… güzelim… güzelim… elveda!

SHORE

                                     In memory of Canan Özdemir…

  With your slight touch, the solder of reverie
would come apart. You, floating into
the evening hours, magnolia. The sense of
absence.

From the roots to the branches, the world recedes.

  Look, in my clothes there’s only
my soul… fire and gold
dribble from the gutters of heavens
to childhood now.

  The crazy other! Nobody is nobody’s shore
around here any more!

  Summer thinned. Summer in which words
are fickle angels. In the beach
appeared the princess of foams
never again.

  Oh little sister, oh magnolia the hapless.
What are we if not our melancholy
among these people who constantly
shed skins?

  My dear… my dear… my dear… farewell!
