Bazen Susulur One Stays Silent Sometimes.

Memed Erdener, Ekim 2014

Bazen susulur.
Susmak gezginlerin işidir.
Söylemedikçe güzelleşir.
En güzel hali, hiç söylenmediğidir.
Suskunlar her sesi toplarlar.
Tek bir ses dahi kalmaz.
Çıt çıkmaz.
Şehrin üzerinde dev bir kulak belirir.
Kulak gökyüzünde yavaşça süzülür.
Dev kulağı incecik ipliklerle çeken
Salyangozlar kördür.

One stays silent sometimes.
Keeping silent is what travellers do.
The more you stay silent, the more that which is not said becomes beautiful.
The most beautiful state of a thing that which is not said is when it has never been expressed.
The silent gather all sounds.
Not a sound is left behind.
Even the faintest sound cannot be heard.
A great ear appears above the city.
This ear slowly hovers in the sky.
The snails that drag the giant ear
with the thinnest of threads, are blind.
