crunch
crackling with love and warmth
soak down to the heart, there you go
don't melt too fast now
or the joy won't last now
and i'll be gone
melted by the starved fire's tears
screaming words of comfort
of kindness
here,
have it.
take my willingness to go
and melt it away with the sugar that slips smooth
along my teeth and tongue
don't threaten me with your cinnamon kisses
or swirling goodness ripe with cherry lips
always only sweeping away deeper
force feeding blood into sickly love-hearts
offered gladly
intoxicated with desire
and the rawness of all i yearn to live for.

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.
