the truth is
first I saw the colour yellow, then
all the rest
it was an infant lost in thought with her toy
in the sky
the man and the child
were both walking ahead and watching
with half closed eyes
not having the slighest interest
in the rainbow above
I swear
I have a bad conscience since that very day
for not having pointed to the child
the seven colours all at once
(Translated by Cevat Çapan)
