İskorpit [English translation]

He had moved in one village near Muğla*

He had left his girlfriend and opened up a little seafood restaurant

And was happy

Sea, sunshine and books

Everything was going very nice

But he saw her one day

She had come to where he was working and there was someone next to her

He suddenly felt pain in his heart

He stepped outside

The sun went down into endlessness

He quietly watched them from the distance

They were laughing in the candle light holding hands

The good old days with her flashed through his mind

He smoked one cigarette, then another one

And yet she left

Slowly the fragility inside him turned into jealousy, and pain turned into anger

He went inside

He fried for them the best fish of the day with his own hands

Made a salad, poured oil on, squeezed a lemon

Then made the sauce of the poisonous needle of a Pufferfish

And poured it with his tears over the fish

They never wake up anymore

He never slept anymore
