A Welcome to the Sunset of Another Long Summer Day in Istanbul

Leander's Tower After the Sunset



Some scenes change
 some people change
 buildings stay as buildings 
and gulls are always seagulls
 while the daughters of modern day Leanders stay safe from venomous serpents in their towers 
of stones built on rocks in the sea 
or of tents of anxiety 
 built on doubts of millenia and multitudes in the deserts.



Someone blocks Leanders's Tower
But I prefer to see her head





We look at each other after 36 years together and think
 it has always been 36 years
and will always be that.
no venomous serpents, no anxieties, no doubts.
