DIARY OF A BROKEN POET
by Olėtu Oghėnėnyorė C.
DIARY OF A BROKEN POET
pieces of glass; old
bottles at the sea, broken
street of notebooks
drinking and living every pages
drunk poets; phrases
here and there
leaving sunshine to seek the sun
miss train; slow trek
to stardom; boom, air hostess
seeking selfie
on the long run
poetry and puzzle
born by the same parent
surviving migraines
blank brain traveling in coffee cab
and you say ‘poetry is everything’ you know you don’t mean it, you know
except you are known
write, still, just write
smile over

Istanbul is a city bristling with life, a place where past and present, sacred and profane, intertwine under the watchful gaze of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. As I explore this crossroads of cultures with Maya, my nine-year-old niece and the daughter of my late brother-in-law Frank, and my wife Nadia, Frank's sister, I find myself on a journey not just through Istanbul's history, but also into the depths of my own beliefs. Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.
