a poem about Meral and me

Meral comes, cocks her head, says
"Are you alright?" perhaps, and I say
"Are you alright? Want some food?"
and may be she says "Der, of course.."
so I say "How's Daf?
Are you looking after your family?"
and she gives me a look - tells quite a story,
then asks softly about everything that has happened
up until this very moment, and I say,
"I'm trying Meral, I really am.."
and give her a look -
"Tell it to the birds.." she says,
"..tell it to the birds.."
