Yesterday's Poem: In Sum by Rüstü Onur

Reading a poem a day in March (hopefully more than one somedays). I started the month with In Sum by Rüstü Onur, translated from Turkish by Hüseyin Alhas and Ulas Özgün. I found this brief, beautiful, melancholy poem in the March 2022 issue of Poetry. This poem, written to a mother, is about loss and what’s not left. You can read In Sum here.
