From a Balcony In Ankara

From a balcony in Ankara Exotic birds swoon Pigeons sit on roof tops Awaiting on the moon Traffic noises hum Children’s voices clash Banging pots and pans For the evening dinner rush Crockery and cutlery Tapping out a rhythm Chinking Turkish tea glasses Adding to the sound Scraped back chairs Washing up Hustle bustle crescendo Then silence Full stomachs contentment From a balcony in Ankara
