In their cracky voices the seagulls talked
– they truly did talk –
about things that parted continents and seas.
The crowd moved in a mass dance
a choreography of nothing
momentarily interrupted by streetcars.
And the waters howled underneath
they howled like a heartbeat
soon (any moment now) to cease.
Souls passed me by;
some lost
some wandering
and some mine.
Jan. 2024,
Istanbul.
