SEYHAN EROZCELIK


your friend told you
of his bicycle date
how she brought him
an an eyelash of love
wrapped in a fig leaf
which comes off
as an ardent proposal
how he compromised
in years of university
by being stoned all day
on the slippery rocks
of archaeology
by the Aegean shore
and meeting Artemis
his coming out
with his moon goddess
as a virginal huntress
a year ago
by the islands archipelago.
