A beautiful poem. I thought it was just a This Mortal Coil song, then I figured out it was a Byrds song. But it's really an old poem, I'm glad I found this video!
original text is: kapilari calan benim kapilari birer birer gozunuze gorunemem goze gorunmez oluler hirosima'da oleli oluyor bir on yil kadar yedi yasinda bir kizim buyumez olu cocuklar saclarim tutustu once ellerim yandi kavruldu bir avuc kul oluverdim kulum havaya savruldu

This is beautifully written, I just learned that the Byrds put it to the music of Silkie, listen to it if you haven't before.

Same here! I never knew the song by the Byrds existed. See my version of Silkie, the traditional tune that was borrowed for the Byrds version.

you should check out the version I'd consider to be the best by the band the misunderstood, it's called I Unseen
