Some Way Out

By Rüya Yönak

Same old same old

belief unfolds,

desperate for different thoughts.

Under the influence,

An escapist laughs,

telling stories of unknown,

another world of their own

they sail away from burnt cities.

Blood covered with sillk

returns to ashes,

mouth covered with milk,

returns blue and purple

bruises all over.

I wish we knew some way out.
