-LAMENT- IT DİDN’T SUİT YOU, SON

Ali Baba Karakaş – 03 Ocak 2026

O Son, you were a sapling in your spring Your branches hadn’t yet sprouted buds At times, like golden gleam of wheat At times, a carnation on its branch You were still a green fruit on the branch Not yet a grape Harvest ground was left empty, Son You were ment for spring, Son Not winter O son, in a distant, lonely land Whom did your eyes seek In your final breath? Which words choked in your throat? It didn’t suit you, Son To embrace the soil as your final love The soil didn’t suit you A groom’s suit would fit you better, Son You had grown so tall Reaching toward the sun Like a sunflower, Son Leaving pain in the hearts, you went Cursed be the name of death.
