“oxygen
Everything needs it: bone, muscles, and even,
while it calls the earth its home, the soul.
So the merciful, noisy machine
stands in our house working away in its
lung-like voice. I hear it as I kneel
before the fire, stirring with a
stick of iron, letting the logs
lie more loosely. You, in the upstairs room,
are in your usual position, leaning on your
right shoulder which aches
all day. You are breathing
patiently; it is a
beautiful sound. It is
your life, which is so close
to my own that I would not know
where to drop the knife of
separation. And what does this have to do
with love, except
everything? Now the fire rises
and offers a dozen, singing, deep-red
roses of flame. Then it settles
to quietude, or maybe gratitude, as it feeds
as we all do, as we must, upon the invisible gift:
our purest, sweet necessity: the air.”

“Oxytocin rocks the world.”
“Oxytoxin. That cursed love hormone, that raged within her. She softly stroked the baby’s hair as it slept on, slowly removing her breast out of its mouth. Oxytoxin, the internet proclaimed was the reason she felt aroused, while her baby fed. Oxytoxin, was the reason she was here, trekking a mountain with the baby much against her husband’s wishes, hoping to get her answers at the end of it. A baby that was not his, a fact he did not know. A secret that was eating her up.”

“Oy, hayır, hakkında konuştuğum yazar, kendisini olgun saydığı için değil, fakat tam da kendi olgunlaşmamışlığını tanıdığı için, bir biçimi olmadığını ve tırmanmakta olan, ama daha tırmanıp çıkmamış biri olduğunu, yapılmakta olan, ama henüz yapılıp bitmemiş biri olduğunu bildiği için kendisini yazmaya verecektir. Eğer nasibine başarısız ve budalaca bir eser yazmak düşerse, diyecektir ki: “Harika! Aptalca yazdım, ama kimseyle sadece akıllıca, mükemmel eserler verme anlaşması yapmamıştım. Kendi budalalığıma ifade kazandırdım ve bundan ötürü de seviniyorum, değil mi kendime karşı uyandırdığım isteksizlik ve insani katılık beni şekillendiriyor ve işliyor, sanki yeni baştan yaratıyor ve işte ben bir kez daha yeni doğmuş oluyorum.” Bundan da görülüyor ki sağlıklı bir felsefesi olan ozan, kendi içinde öyle bir pekişmiştir ki onu aptallık ve olgunlaşmamışlık bile ne ürkütebilir ne de bir zarar verebilir – sizler, korku sesinizi sizden aldığı için, handiyse hiçbir şey ifade edemeyecek bir durumdayken, o, açık alınla kendisini ifade edebilir ve kendi ataleti içinde görünür olabilir.”

“Oysa Horasan konusu yıllarca Dersimlilerin Türk, hem de ‘öz Türk’ oldukları yönünde şoven bir asimilasyon politikasının argümanı olarak kullanıldı. Dersimliler Horasan’dan gelmişlerdi ve Horasan ‘Türk yurdu’ idi… Bu ‘resmi’ görüşü Kürt Alevileri açısından ‘güncelleyerek’ halen savunan kalemler olduğu biliniyor. Bu kişilerin savundukları görüşe göre ‘İslam’ın özü’ olan Alevilik bir ‘Türk inancı’dır… Bu durumda hem ‘Türk yurdu’ Horasan’dan geldikleri hem de Alevi oldukları için Dersimliler ‘öz be öz Türk’ oluyorlar(!)
(…)
Faik Bulut Horasan meselesine değinirken ‘Bize kalırsa Kürt Kızılbaşlığın özyurdu Horasan elidir’ diyor. ‘Çünkü orası eski Med ülkesi ve yoğun Kürt coğrafyasıdır. Daha doğrusu; Kürt, Afgan, Beluci, Fars, Hint kültürünün bir arada yoğuran Zerdüşlük, Budizm, Manilik, Brahmanizm inancının beşiğidir.’
(…)
Aynı konuda Mehmet Bayrak şunu söylemektedir: ‘Safevi Şahları tarafından Kuzey Horasan’a yerleştirilen ve kuzeydeki Sünni Özbeklere ve Türkmenlere karşı kullanılan Dersin kökenli bu Alevi Kürt aşiret topluluklarından bir bölümü savaş sonrasında barış aşamasında eski topraklarına geri dönüyorlar. İşte ‘Horasan’dan gelme olayı’ budur.”

“Oysters are supposed to enhance your sexual performance, but they don't work for me. Maybe I put them on too soon.”
“Oysters are the usual opening to a winter breakfast. Indeed, they are almost indispensable.”
“Oysters open completely when the moon is full; and when the crab sees one it throws a piece of stone or seaweed into it and the oyster cannot close again so that it serves the crab for meat. Such is the fate of him who opens his mouth too much and thereby puts himself at the mercy of the listener.”
“Oysters release their eggs from around August to September. So during this time, they are small and don't taste good. They gradually start to put on weight again after that.
And when the snow on the mountains melt and the water flows into the sea from the river, the oysters taste even better. Snow melt is rich in nutrients, and the plankton grows on that. The oysters eat the plankton and grow larger.”

“Ozymandias"
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
