FROM
WINDOWS TO MESOPOTAMIA PLANE... |
| |
The
sun sends his last rays ambitiously on to the houses. The surface and
the corners of the stone houses turn red. The shadows are sad, the last
ray is excited because it is clear that in minutes, this visual feast
will come to an end. The merciless time will remove it from the houses.
The sun makes the plane shine like phosphorus. The fields are coloured
in front of the last ray. Inhabitants of Mardin in front of their caged
windows look at the plane. The sun is so happy that he turns from one
colour to the other on the plane. Then, he is slowly defeated by
darkness; and is ereased from the plane. A shadow lands on the plane
that nas been burned all day long. The laborers put their muttocks at
their backs. The crop on the fields wave by the evening breeze. The
colours are ereased one by one and the plane takes the colour of smoke.
Suddenly, the large plane becomes a sea. The ones who have been burned,
who sit in front of the stone windows, host the blue of the sea in their
eyes. Coolness falls into the heat of summer heat.
The plane, from one corner to the other presents
the pleasure of the evening to the ones in front of the windows.
Inhabitants of Mardin descend to the sea. Not their bodies but their
souls fall into the blue sea.
A glass of wine is raised in front of the window. The bitter taste of
the plane's grapes that have been burned under the sun blend in the
mouth. The ones sitting in front of the windows go away. Some go into
the deepness of the Mesopotamian plane. Some to the Medditerenean, some
to the Black Sea... The ones charmed by the secret of the plane descend
to the abyss of te centuries. Untill they are lost in the sea. Till
everything is buried under the darkness, the ones in front of the
windows and the ones who lance their bodies to the cool wind on the
roofs wait. The city is in harmony with the plane. None of the houses
has turned its back to this endless sea. The windows look at the plane
attentively in order to see what has happened in thousands of years...
