                                        Mama Had Said

                               Painter : Mkhitarian student name unknown

“ Truth liberates”

My mama had said

I said

“Hurt me

I’m ready for truth”

Truth

My bone marrow

That young bloodhound

That catlike fire

That very nose

Wild wired driven

Eating blood

Scents from light years away

Digging hard

Touching

 stench of lies

Mountains of lies

And more

Clowns balloons ….

This morning

Cloudless skies

Captive pigeons

White marbles

Wild flowers

The entire gang

At the cemetery in Istanbul

Listening

I thought aloud

 “ Mama”… “Victors write history “
