                                                    sürdü kuzgunun - m - um kokulu tenine..

                                                    aşk yok ki dedi
                                                    kuzgun.
                                                    - şaşırmayı biliyordu hâlâ -

                                                    üzerime sürdüğün geleceksiz
                                                    bir günahtan başka ne?
                                                    vaftizle kalaylanmış aşklar var,
                                                    dedi kertenkele.
                                                    cebimde. biriktirdim.

                                                    serdi şehirlerini efendisine
                                                    şiire belendi.
