The Flea

" A poem is stored energy, a formal turbulence, a living thing, a swirl in the flow. Poems are part of the energy pathways which sustain life. Poems are averbal equivalent of fossil fuel (stored energy), but they are a renewable source of energy, coming, as they do, from those ever generative twin matrices, language and imagination."

"Kuşlar söyler ahvâli, ahvâl bilir hakikati."                                                           - Geyikli "All over the world learning the language of animals, especially of birds, is equivalent to knowing the secrets of nature...."                                                       - Mircea Eliade
