Lion of Bavaria, Lindau, May 2009-Germany

Lindau's famous harbour, which is still regarded today as the most attractive anywhere on Lake Constance, was completed in 1856. The 6m high monument with the lion looking over the lake is a work by the sculptor Johann von Halbing. The Bavarian heraldic emblem flanks the harbour entrance together with the 33m high lighthouse. Thousands of lights create a magical harbour atmosphere.

The Diebsturm, also called the Malefizturm or Stadtknechtsturm, was built around 1370 as the most westerly point of the old town wall. In the Middle Ages, it served as a prison. The coloured roof tiling originates from the last century.

Voyage to Mars - Mars' a Yolculuk

Shadow on Mars, Phaselis- Kemer, December 2008 - Mars'taki Gölge, Kemer-Antalya, Aralık 2008

Voyage to Mars!

Proud of going to be the first female astronaut landing on Mars, she was looking to the large screen in front of her. The space shuttle was in total darkness, only a red “Exit” sign was blinking on top of the ceiling. She fastened her seatbelt, took a deep breath as the shuttle took of with a noise, her feet were off the ground in a few seconds.

The blue atmosphere of the Earth disappeared from the screen and she was floating in the middle of the Galaxy, cleaving among the bright stars and meteorites while gradually getting anxious. As the red planet appeared on the front screen, she felt tachycardia, sweating and heebie jeebies. Her accelerated heartbeats could be heard even from a long distance. She was feeling like suffocating as the space shuttle banged on the Red Planet.
Even there weren’t any technical problem related with the cabin pressure, she was gradually sweating. It was still dark inside, the red exit sign was still blinking as the screen was displaying the cold, red lonely surface of Mars with crater lakes on.
She tried to breathe deeply and convinced herself that everything was in its normal course. Her tachycardia was worsening and she was feeling a disturbing nausea. Desperately looking at the red “Exit” sign, she unfastened her seat belt. The cabin pressure must be decreasing that she was in need of oxygen and fresh air. Feeling herself on a seesaw on the red rough surface before fainting, she reopened her eyes on a White Planet.
A doctor in a white coat was smiling at her tenderly. He was explaining her that a “claustrophobia” can be triggered by enclosed spaces, like the flight simulation game “Voyage to Mars” she attended in the Funfair.

Zeytin ağacı - Olive tree - Maslina

Zeytin agaci, Teleferik Izmir, 2009 - Olive tree, Teleferik Izmir, 2009

"...Yani, öylesine ciddiye alacaksın ki yaşamayı, yetmişinde bile, mesela, zeytin dikeceksin, hem de öyle çocuklara falan kalır diye değil, ölmekten korktuğun halde ölüme inanmadığın için, yaşamak yanı ağır bastığından..."

"...I mean, you must take living so seriously that even at seventy, for instance, you'll plant olive tree, not for your children, either,but because although you fear death you don't believe it, because living, I mean, weighs heavier..."

SİTEM

Önde zeytin ağaçları arkasında yâr

Sene 1946

Mevsim Sonbahar

Önde zeytin ağaçları neyleyim neyleyim

Dalları neyleyim.

Yâr yollarına dökülmedik dilleri neyleyim.
Yâr yâr!..

Seni kara saplı bir bıçak gibi sineme sapladılar

Değirmen misali döner başım

Sevda değil bu bir hışım

Gel gör beni darmadağın

Tel tel çözülüp kalmışım.

Yâr yâr

Canımın çekirdeğinde diken

Gözümün bebeğinde sitem var

THE MUSSEL HUNTER -MIDYE AVCISI

Midye Avcilari, Inciralti Balikci Barinagi, Aralik 2008, Izmir - Mussel Hunters, Inciralti fishermen`s cove, December 2008, Izmir

...

The Mussel Hunter

Like an astronaut on a spaceflight, he was moving slowly. Tied to an old wooden spacecraft with a mossy rope, he was wearing a water-resist suit completed with a handmade waistcoat and a grey beret. A red sack was elegantly floating behind him on the infinite foggy blue. His legs were not seen, while his wet hands were slowly dipping the shovel, scraping the sand and then filling the worn sieve.

As if in California Gold Rush, his eyes were shining brightly with each black jewel appearing among the sand on the sieve. He was diligently combing out his treasure and filling the red sack tied on his waist.
Shouldering on the shovel and proud of his shiny treasure in the red sack, he hit the road with the old boat. The infinite blue was turning to a golden color as if the bright stars of a close galaxy were blinking in the seashore.
He had never seen a sea or mussels until he left the far village to earn enough money for his wedding. His fiancée gave him the waistcoat and the beret with tears on her eyes and warned him not to get cold. Yet, water drops were flowing over the yellow rubber boots, forming a small lake around his feet. He wrapped himself to the soaking wet waistcoat.
He dreamt of their wedding ceremony with golden jewels on her beloved’s white wedding dress. They will be sitting in one of the bright seaside cafes to order stuffed mussel served with lemon. He will gently open each black shiny shell, squeeze the lemon in them and put in her tiny pink mouth. She will be feeling the delicious taste of the each black jewel, while watching the slowly moving mussel hunters in the infinite blue.

Bence sen de şimdi herkes gibisin

Ceylanı kurtardım avcının elinden
ama daha baygın yatar ayılamadı.
Kopardım portakalı dalından
ama kabuğu soyulamadı.
Oldum yıldızlarla haşır neşir
ama sayısı bir tamam sayılamadı.
çektim kuyudan suyu
ama bardaklara konulamadı.
Güller dizildi tepsiye
ama taştan fincan oyulamadı.
Sevdalara doyulamadı.

NAZIM HIKMET RAN

BENCE SEN DE ŞİMDİ HERKES GİBİSİN

Gönlümle baş başa düşündüm demin;

Artık bir sihirsiz nefes gibisin.

Şimdi tâ içinde bomboş kalbimin

Akisleri sönen bir ses gibisin.
Mâziye karışıp sevda yeminim,

Bir anda unuttum seni, eminim

Kalbimde kalbine yok bile kinim

Bence artık sen de herkes gibisin.

NAZIM HIKMET RAN

HASRET

Yüzyıl oldu yüzünü görmeyeli,

belini sarmayalı,

gözünün içinde durmayalı,

aklının aydınlığına sorular sormayalı,

dokunmayalı sıcaklığına karnının.

Yüz yıldır bekler beni

bir şehirde bir kadın.

Aynı daldaydık, aynı daldaydık.

Aynı daldan düşüp ayrıldık.

Aramızda yüz yıllık zaman,

yol yüz yıllık.

Yüz yıldır alacakaranlıkta

Koşuyorum ardından.

Pitao sam neke ljude u mome kraju

gdje mi duša stanuje

Jer tajnu za mene

kažu kriješ draga

Pitao sam da mi vrate

ono vrijeme, dane, sate,

proljeće

Na ljubav miriše

Tako kažu

Rodi meu majsku zoru

Kupaj meu bistroj vodi

Čuvam jedan cvijet

kad svi drugu odu

Čuvam te

dok sam živ

Denizin Delisi

Unutmak mı?

Delisin,

Gitmesem de bekler orada deniz.

Gelirsem bilmelisin

Benim beklememdir burada deniz.

Gitmek gibi geleceğim

Denizin delisine.

Delinin denizi gibi,

O ne kadar giderse.

FERMAN

Bazı nehirler tükenmek için akar

Günlerce gezdim bu mısraın haysiyetiyle

Benimdir

Sormuştun bir keresinde

Sen çok aşık olmuşsun bense ilk

Yalnızca buymuş gibi aramızdaki eşitsizlik

Oysa aşk siyasetnamedir

Sınıf duvarlarına asılan ferman kesinliğinde

Evet, çok aşık oldum senden önce

Ama seninle öğreniyorum sevmeyi

Kırk yılda öğrendim şu kadarcık gerçeği

Şimdi hem aşığım sana hem seviyorum seni

Sırf bu sözün hatırına yirmi yıl sonra yeniden oku bu şiiri

Senindir

Ferman senindir
