DEMİR İYRİBOZ

(İstanbul, 1926 - İzmir, 2013)


OUT BEYOND IDEAS

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,

the world is too full to talk about.

Ideas, language, even the phrase "each other"
doesn't make any sense.
