​THE CITY (Istanbul)

The city with color
in the sky,
in churches,
the palaces.

Color
in the colored faces
in poverty
in misery
to smile
in life.

Let fear
let there be  shadow
other.

Through the gray
there color

you feel it?

A poem devoted,
to the victims of the terrorist attack 
on January 12, 2016,
​
one day before my trip to Istanbul.
