A young girl made the faded
one from Konya, I am told,
and raided all the heartland
shades of Anatolia - the amethyst
and rose of the high
plateaus and the air she breathed;
birds in flight across the eastern
steppe, their colours fused
in transit; water symbols
channelling through frames, and where
the pattern breaks, a message
woven like a stain -
a clot of alizarin,
enigmatic as a wound,
eloquent as pain.
