IMMATURE METAPHYSICS

 

Metaphysical Nature

(from Spectrum, literary magazine of Robert College students, p.22, 1963)

trying to overpower

an urge inside

gnawing at the brain

                          and ear

and holes in my shoes

Numbness increasing

small worlds

white ones

falling on the shoulders

then disappearing        

                       in wetness

melting me

to my foundations

of nothingness

Maybe a ghost

of the past

             or the future

conceiving

infinity

Ahmet Celebiler,

December, 1963
