ANOTHER OTHER CHELEBI TRAVELS

 

TRESPASSES AND OFFENCES


he went to the city when young

in body

and in mind

the city of fables and mysteries

histories and labels

to face 

himself and others

in streets narrow

and wide

and in eyes 

sunken 

and deep

uncaring

even like sheep.

wooled over

world apart


he saw brunets and blonds

who could speak to him

who should speak to him

and

was speechless

lest 

they did not see

did not appraise

did not 


he saw houses

with no owners visible

shops with nothing available

stone edifices

stone faces

fuming things

and fumbling humans

and learned loneliness

for himself 

and others


he came back

himself

and 

as another

to the same 

to do the same

to think

some more

to search some more

to plan to visit some more
