PIGEON IN MARDİN

I am pigeon; I fly clapping my wings freely. I was guide for Nuh’s ship settled on the castle. I am blessed news in Christianity and a silent glance in Şehidiye Mosque; I am simple designed, coloured, peaceful Mardin’s pigeon.

- I am silent passion of plain,

- A lover’s news hope, and confidant of almond flower.

- As a Mardin pigeon I equipped my wing with Gılgamış splendour, always flying peacefully.

- I faithfully greeted Artuklu

- I set sail taking my wind from castle.

I always play hide- and-seek game among stony buildings, churches medresahs and mosques. My direction is plain, my compass is Grand Mosque. I am pigeon of castle and rock, herald for country to inform good news.

I am Albatros in plain my beak is a legendary zither inherited from civilization. Yusufies take their prettiness from Yakup’s son. The blues make surf on the clouds. My necklace is conceited. Because I am messenger of creation at the Old Testament, and a blessed bird having set up the nest on the outlet cave the Islamic prophet took shelter.

I am religious representing twelve apostles and a peace symbol Picasso presented to world

I drank tolerance drink at Deyrulzafaran church, and kissed the embroideries on the Zinciriye Medresah.
