“My brain is the planet’s largest organic manufacturing plant of multiculturalism.”
― With Love From A Blue Rock
― With Love From A Blue Rock
“When The Pillar Gets Weary (Dervish Sonnet 2776)
I don't utter a single word that
I wouldn't want to become part of the canon,
but person can't live on discipline alone,
so, having no lover to take my armor off for,
I found a different way to vent my vulnerability -
in the mainstream work I'm a pillar of strength,
while turkish is quite literally my love language -
english is the language where my brain feels at home,
turkish is the language where my heart finds rest -
none my mothertongue, yet both are my first language,
with spanish as my occasional substitute for english.
English is not my mothertongue,
english is my brother tongue -
spanish is not my mothertongue,
spanish is my cousin tongue -
turkish is not my mothertongue,
turkish is my lover tongue.
My territory is planet earth -
humanity, my civilization.
Figure what I didn't mention,
you'll learn the law of assimilation.”
― Nazmahal: Palace of Grace
