Synthesis / Ece Ayhan

“Synthesis”
by Ece Ayhan
from First Poems

This lithograph
–the book of the codes of torture–
Where the impression is work
At Babel
At Babel a child says
It stops us again and again
But we are not this which
Until now on these first pages
Emerging from our opposite
Your other eyes
Your other mouths, lips
At Babel are printed
Opening one by one
Our life.
