By way of 1994, to the galaxy
I lived, my God,
By halves and publicly.
In my next life,
If there are such lives,
I don't know if I
would still write poetry.
But women, my God,
I loved them so much.
If born as one
in my next life,
I will have to learn
how lesbians make love.
1994 Eliyle, Samanyolu'na by Cemal Süreya
