FLOWING TIME
Gather firewood
days are mercury
and nights are iron.
As your fire goes out
life is what remains of ash now.
Standing by the hearth
when you look into the distance
the snow falling gently upon its branch
is time raining upon your life.
ŞERİF ERGİNBAY
Hello,
I am someone living in Antalya, Türkiye, writing Turkish poems far from literary centers. With the help of artificial intelligence, I am having my published poetry books translated into English and releasing them into the digital ocean as a few small drops. Perhaps they will reach someone in a corner of the world who looks at life with feelings and thoughts similar to mine. Who knows, maybe the poetic structure of my poems will catch the attention of a translator who is a true poetry lover.
This English version was produced with the assistance of artificial intelligence and is intended as a digital rendering of the original Turkish poems, not as a substitute for a literary translation by a professional poetry translator.
