An Explorer’s Vietnam Poems


FOR THOSE WHO WILL SAIL ACROSS THE OCEANS
An Explorer’s Vietnam Poems–

Ulas Basar Gezgin

HOPE
For those who will sail across the oceans.
A seagull in the head of the beast.
A call to the bag snatcher.
Confirmation of nihilism.
Hope.
At the Melbourne Cemetery.
After rain.
Thank you.
To live longer.
On the Hoi An Bridge.
My Father Was A Face

INCENSE
Incense.
What a butterfly says to another one.
Rubaiyyat for a jam session, a ‘Cem’ ritual at Saigon.
At the Saigon Jazz Club and Thru’.
Come before the monsoon, come after the monsoon…
A new meeting with the (not ‘a’) Vietnamese journalist.
A Journey by Motorbike: Vietnamese Frida, Korean Frida…
