MY UNCLE WORE A ROSE ON HIS LAPEL<\/strong><\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

And as if it were alive he would water it every day.<\/h3>\n

To let the water on his dark flesh vaporize<\/h3>\n

He would button down his shirt with rascally strong words:<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

A florist he was who would not kill lice oN a leAf.<\/h3>\n

A photographer who touched up the photographs of war.<\/h3>\n

A storyteller who came home smiling every night.<\/h3>\n

Auburn he was- his children resembled his wife.<\/h3>\n

His tallness protected him from the cold.<\/h3>\n

A greengrocer who never ate his own tomatoes.<\/h3>\n

A merchant who new no cushions but matting.<\/h3>\n

Religious- he would not drink raki* during edhan**.<\/h3>\n

The glasses he wore made his eyes seem larger.<\/h3>\n

Wanderer he was who trodED the cobblestones of \u0130zmir.<\/h3>\n

A fisherman whose hands became calloused by water.<\/h3>\n

A nicotine addict wHose long cigarette curled.<\/h3>\n

A diplomat who attended coctail parties with his fancy trousers on.<\/h3>\n

An investor who worked overnight to feed his family.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

My uncle wore a rose on his lapel.<\/h3>\n

Had he seen you he would have cried with joy.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

*raki: Turkish alcoholic drink made from grapes and aromatic anise.<\/h3>\n

**edhan: call for prayer for Muslims.<\/h3>\n
