Carl Boon: Istanbul, 5:45

November 9, 2017 by PBQ Leave a Comment

The brunettes and the bankers stroll behind me in threes, each in love with one who can’t exist, each surveying corners. It’s 5:45 and the call to prayer flares up from the Modern Mosque. The crows in the magnolia trees are calling for plunder. Boys shoot baskets in the schoolyard, and seventeen green walnuts have […]

This is where we sat once, cinder blocks for back steps, trumpet vine spreading under the siding. You played so many songs on your old harmonica and I danced. When the heat went out, you combed tangles from my hair, fed me straight from the jam jar. The mail piled in the corner— old pennysavers, […]
