For breakfast I eat up my vowels, my a e i o u, to which I add from consonants a fricative or two;
After that I move my bowels then write as poets do, and frequently am quite surprised to feel a trill come through.

Asılan Adam (Hanged Man)

A little bit of Turkish: Ağaç (Tree) Meyve (Fruit) Taş (Stone)


Meyve veren ağaç taşlanir.


The fruit-bearing tree gets stoned.
Turkish Proverb


The image on the left is from a 1910 pack of tarot cards produced by Pamela Colman Smith for Arthur Edward Waite. For a modern reproduction I recommend the Pamela Colman Smith Commemorative Set.
