Turkish Tea

Leaf 288 – Looking Back

 



This poem is about a friend of mine from long ago, whom I only knew briefly. She was a real ray of sunshine. When we first met we could hardly speak a word of each other’s languages, but somehow we seemed to connect.

 

 

Sweetening

a glass of Turkish tea

– Nihal’s smile.
