We pray
and the resurrection happens.
Here are the young
again,
sniping and giggling,
tingly as ringing phones.
2
All we ask
is that our thinking
sustain momentum,
identify targets.
The pressure
in my lower back
rising to be recognized
as pain.
The blue triangles
on the rug
repeating.
Coming up,
a discussion
on the uses
of torture.
The fear
that all this
will end.
The fear
that it won’t.

» Taking Stock...The Things That Matter Most: I'm Ready For That
walking down the aisle
smile spread across your face
my knees are shaking
all over the friggn’ place
you trip over your dress
because thats you being you
i start to laugh a little
everyone else does too
your Dad catches your fall
you look up at me and smile
i fall in…

You break my heart
& I breathe
You break my heart again
& I breathe some more
I inhale the pain
I swallow my pride
& move on

» Poetically Profound: Window Pane
As I stared out this window
I realized I wasn’t home
Coming to conclusions I should have already known
How could I have lived this long without a soul?
Languished by this anguish
The damage
Has already been done
You sip malice from your chalice
Revel in the misunderstanding
Of everything… -

Like I said yesterday Taksim is my favorite place in Istanbul and it’s a great multicultural part of the city. There was a book festival that we went to, it was really great even if most of the books were in turkish, just seeing that much books made me feel good :)
The cat cracked me up, just sitting there relaxing on the magazines.

I had an amazing time yesterday with my turkish friends. We went to my favorite place in Istanbul; Taksim!
This is Istiklal street in Taksim. We were in a restaurant in the fourth floor: amazing view! The food soooo good! I couldn’t get enough really :D
Do not ask me about the names of the dishes lol because I really don’t remember any!
(Don’t worry I’m not going to be posting the things I do all the time lol just this time… And maybe another :p) Ok guys, done with this useless entry, keep on scrolling.

Writers’ habits series
Salman Rushdie
“What I do for hours, every day of my life, is sit in a room by myself. When I stop for the day I always try to have some notion of where I want to pick up. If I’ve done that, then it’s a little easier to start because I know the first sentence or phrase. At least I know where in my head to go and look for it. Early on, it’s very slow and there are a lot of false starts. I’ll write a paragraph, and then the next day I’ll think, Nah, I don’t like that at all, or, I don’t know where it belongs, but it doesn’t belong here. Quite often it will take me months to get underway. When I was younger, I would write with a lot more ease than I do now, but what I wrote would require a great deal more rewriting. Now I write much more slowly and I revise a lot as I go. I find that when I’ve got a bit done, it seems to require less revision than it used to. So it’s changed. I’m just looking for something that gives me a little rush, and if I can get that, get a few hundred words down, then that’s got me through the day.
I don’t have any strange, occult practices. I just get up, go downstairs, and write. I’ve learned that I need to give it the first energy of the day, so before I read the newspaper, before I open the mail, before I phone anyone, often before I have a shower, I sit in my pajamas at the desk. I do not let myself get up until I’ve done something that I think qualifies as working. If I go out to dinner with friends, when I come home I go back to the desk before going to bed and read through what I did that day. When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is to read through what I did the day before. No matter how well you think you’ve done on a given day, there will always be something that is underimagined, some little thing that you need to add or subtract—and I must say, thank God for laptops, because it makes it a lot easier. This process of critically rereading what I did the day before is a way of getting back inside the skin of the book. But sometimes I know exactly what I want to do and I sit down and start on it. So there’s no rule.”
The Paris Review, 2005

The future of me and you
