There are many a layer to Istanbul
Like a Belly Dancer
Removing veils
Peeling back each shroud
Creates...cracks, crevices
Hidden time there
Yonder, an element of space
Swept under rugs
Upon layers of silk and wool
Woven fabric
Weaves you and I together
That tells the true
History
Double hooks
Stitched secrets
3 Empires wide
Or is it long
Like the wall to keep invaders out
And to keep your heart in
That is the rug
Carpet
Tapestry
Of us
