sonsuz iri güller,
Güller ki kamıştan daha nalân
Gün doğdu yazık arkalarından!
Benim gibi ağızsız, dul kadınların, saçı bitmedik yetimlerin beş, on dirhem şekeri sana kan olsun, irin olsun...
Haklı bir gazabın mehâbetini duyuran sert bir bakışla, kırlaşmış uzun kirpikli, iri, şahane gözlerini, boynu bükük ihtiyara dikti.
