Istanbul Saying Hello

 Loving my village
 Smelling fish
Sense of my folks
Donkeys and horses
 Horns blasting
 Istanbul saying hello
Mules and men
Men and horses
Slaves and friends
Pulling friends

Church bells
Rabbis dancing
Garlic and spice
Lure me home
Restless I am
Sultan Ahmet waiting
 Chants Of Allah
Splashing  blue waters
Smells of garlic bread


I see them
My dead mom and dad
Friends are gone
I feel them
Everywhere
Street corners
Simit sellers
Maybe thousands
Baby cousins
Don't know me
 I kiss them
Hug  strangers
They hug me back
I am at peace
