4 Haikus for God

Photo and Poem by
Asli OMUR

1.
Let me borrow a language I never spoke
To speak of the ways of men here

2.
God witnessed a man slitting the throat of another
God blew threw your hair and cried on your face
And you still have nothing to say about anything

3.
I can taste the salt of sin
I can see the hennaed hands of satan
I can hear the tears that have yet to be cried

4.
This is what brought me to your bed,
This is what made me your lover,
This is what tore me from your limbs and made me hate you.

Her great great grandmother, Aziz Haydar Hn., (Thessaloniki) sold all her diamonds and used the funds to create Turkey’s first school for children, she was the first Turkish woman to mend Turkish soldiers wounds on the battlefield, a zealous women’s rights and immigrants rights activist in Turkey, she was also the first women to be elected into Turkish parliament with an all male vote and was a strong ally to Ataturk.

Omur currently resides in Seattle, where she is a third year student of Communications and International Studies at the University of Washington. Omur is a published poet, photographer and journalist who has acted as a correspondent for such publications as The Turkish Times and The Tampa Tribune.

She stumbled across photography by accident one summer and has not put her camera down since. Her favorite subjects to photograph include children and spontaneous street portraiture in urban areas. She cites Ara Guler, her grandfathers Emre and Gazanfer Omur, Akgun Akova, Paul Strand and Robert Doisneau as her greatest photographic inspirations.
