Quotes by Ece Ayhan
Ece Ayhan's insights on:

Buraya bakın, burada, bu kara mermerin altında / Bir teneffüs daha yaşasaydı / Tabiattan tahtaya kalkacak bir çocuk gömülüdür / Devlet dersinde öldürülmüştür

Bir Doğu kocakarısı, böğürüyor. Ayapera! Dudu'nun içini açamazlar! Uzaklaşmaktadır ağzı, gökgözleri.Bir arkebüzle ateş ediyor, ıssızlıksız resimlere. Yeraltında basılan bir derginin pazartesi kapağı.

Deve derisinden yapılmıştı, dövülerek, kök boya kullanılarak ve su verilerek ve ateşle pişirilerek. İnsan biçiminde kuklalar... sayın insanlar...

Yıllardır şairlerle devletin arası açıktır. Atatürk şairleri hariç. İktidarla şiir bağdaşmaz. Zira iktidar nötralize eder. Sivil şiir resmi kültürde yer alamaz. Zaten askeri şiire alışılmış bu ülkede. Ben kendi payıma şiirin iktidar olmasını istemem.


Bir kilise babasıyla, bir türbe babası. BİR GEÇERLİLİK handikap mıdır yoksa? YOKSA HOŞGÖRÜ AYAĞI MI?

Ay; gecikmiş ağı, yosun yeşili bir canavar. İlerlemiş gece; kanatsız yarasalar, ıslanmış silahlar. Devrilmiş bir tramvay caddede. Bunlar, kargınmış bir ilkyazın simgeleri. Büyük uçurtmamı çalmışlar deliliğimden, mor gözlü çocuk ölüsü bir pazar, onu bulamıyorum.
