UnmooredA Poem by Burak Batuhan KarakusAdrift It's like jumping into water and doing somersaults - this unsteady ground beneath me. I'm not trying to run away, though stuck on the point of action. I can't just take my savings and go. There's so much going on in this world, yet I've nothing new to offer. I don't want to spread poison or serve exploitative powers. Lives blink in and out so quickly. I look back on the loves I've lost, the hands I'll never hold again. Even if I never touch the moon, I'll still gaze up at the stars and cherish time's irretrievable passage. © 2023 Burak Batuhan Karakus |
