Signs by Defne Kartal
Signs Defne Kartal I don’t believe in signs but I doI beg for them daily, and when they arrive -A postcard, a dog, a friend, a group of musicians, a Canadian -i don’t do what I think they’re telling me towhat are signs for?I don’t believe and I don’t know, I don’t know, so I don’t believeInstead, I conjure up an image of youWalking away through the crowd,I follow youEyes closed in my bedI hold youI look in people’s windows, says the poetI always, always, always doLion-faced truth-speakerNothing to see, if I can’t find you
but can anyone prove to me please,show the signs to me, pleaseThat my world has known you,And the world as I know it, still holds youin a corner where I don’t see, there you must be(Here’s a solace: Object permanence)What did you have for dinner today and who did you talk to?You must have gotten my letterdid it break or mend somethingAnd do you - believe in signs, the way I do?ask for them find them hate them love themask for them again, againagaindo you?
but can anyone prove to me please,show the signs to me, pleaseThat my world has known you,And the world as I know it, still holds youin a corner where I don’t see, there you must be(Here’s a solace: Object permanence)What did you have for dinner today and who did you talk to?You must have gotten my letterdid it break or mend somethingAnd do you - believe in signs, the way I do?ask for them find them hate them love themask for them again, againagaindo you?
