Existential paraglidin in Turkey
Tinkin on da haert’s topography
– heichts wir climmed, jimpit aff a,
aa but miracklin wirsels,
brinks o banks wir teetered apön –
wir blyde da day we hae na da pooster
fur paraglidin. Da aeriel photos
takk wir braeth awa, shaa
da hale pictir. Aert-fast, wir laerned
da bird’s-eye view da herd wye,
bit bi bit, graftin a life tagidder,
backwirds, makkin hit fit.
