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

Sam Harty Date: 2/7/2024 8:11:00 PM I love this so much! He reminded me of a balcony in Istanbul Where I would watch the people from the balcony at the liquor store below. We had names for them,, the drunk man, the gray cat, the blonde dog, the footballer. And so many birds. I miss it desperately.
