Old Phone Numbers
written by: Kubilay Akman
Category:
old phone numbers disappear
in the garden of forgetting
seahorses and starfish
have confused their way
in the foggy sea of towns
dolphins that have forgotten swimming
old phone numbers
are lost
away from this foggy sea
in the garden of forgetting
medicine of the lesion
is the dream forests
naughty children
careless
throw away
remembrance cups of their old noble grandmothers
over skyscrapers
each broken cup
meet laughter of old prostitutes
lasciviously
sperm and blood flow
on the sidewalks of this town
like rivers
as old phone numbers
are wiped from my palm
an old innkeeper
gives lectures of vigilance
to his tired clients
knits a deep betrayal
with his skilled hands
which innkeeper has real best friends?
old phone numbers of dead friends,
old loves, lost parents
seahorses and starfish
are lost
in dirty voice of the innkeeper
in depth of death
as mirrors
destroy the memory of their reflects
