APRÈS-SOLEIL by Gamze S. Saymaz
APRÈS-SOLEIL I
Down at the mantı place,
near the beach, two gold
rimmed plates of garlic
yoğurt marbled with
tomato olive oil, red
pepper flakes, and dried
mint hiding a constellation
of hot dough, are set on
the blue, plaid tablecloth
that almost matches your
shirt, as chrysanthemums
reach out of the stained
glass vase at the centre
to cover half of your face.
APRÈS-SOLEIL II
Bikini briefs hanging from the bathtub faucet like some tired fruit dripping nectar.
