the last kariz digger
life at the zero point, centre of the universe
water on the burning water, blood inside capillary
kariz is labour, track of civilization, heart of uyghur
my source is god mountain, my horizon is turfan
the last kariz: ancestor tracks
thousands of flowers bloom in the cem ceremony- lovers
almond eyed badegül, honey leaks from words, sorrow is bairam
eye of my heart bled, I cried inside and melted gram by gram
why we need captivity, I am free; each chain is a broken arm.
