It never rains

Avare yalnızlığı

Dolaşıyor ortalıkta öyle

Bakınıyor bir yandan da

Tanrının oraya buraya fırlattığı

O rengi olmayan hakikate

Kayaların kuytularında ve ağaç kovuklarında

Sonra nesne arayan bir belaya rastlıyor:

Aşk diyor ona

Bu çürümüş alevi içiyor

Ve habire geğiriyor bir yandan da.

Kibri dert yanıyor bana kısık sesle

`Gitti, kaybettik onu' diye


Sanata kiralıyor kendini ikna etmeyen kahkahalarla

Oyalanıyor kurtarıcı görüntüleriyle

Bırakırken sadece ona helal zevkleri onun bunun insafına

Ayaz, gürültü ve gece eşlik ediyor

İlerlerken kuzeye

Bilmediği meridyenlerden

Çektikleri acıyı göstermeye gelenlere rastlıyor yolda

Ürküyor, dönmek istiyor, dönemiyor ama


Kılavuzu sandığı kader

Dediği dedik bir efendiye dönüşüyor birden

Kesip biçtiği şekiller ruhundan tükeniyor sonra

Bir zamanlar kendince çılgın bir hançerken hem de

Ve koşarken şeytanın ayak işlerine

Yorgun bencilliği sarhoş olup sızıyor bir köşede

Zekası deliriyor bilinci kırbaçlanırken

Olumlanmayan olasılıklarla zengin artık o

Bir mısra bile olmayan çirkin bir cümle

Hayalleri geldikleri yere donuyor- ah, neresi orası?

Gücü kovuğuna

Aşkı bağırsaklarına gömülürken

Bir sesten aç bir köpek havlıyor dışarıda

Kıyamete esir düşüyor sesi, kıs kıs gülüyor hayat, baştan çıkıyor bilgeliği

Sonsuzluk hep yeniyor onu, alay ediyor hem de.

Economists say there is a 7-in-10 likelihood that the US economy will sink into a recession next year, slashing demand forecasts and trimming inflation projections in the wake of massive interest-rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.
The probability of a downturn in 2023 climbed from 65% odds in November and is more than double what it was six months ago, according to the latest Bloomberg monthly survey of economists. The poll was conducted Dec. 12-16, with 38 economists responding about the chance of a recession.

The median estimates see gross domestic product averaging a paltry 0.3% next year, including an annualized 0.7% decline in the second quarter and flat readings in the first and third quarters. Consumer spending, which accounts for about two-thirds of GDP, is projected to barely grow in the middle half of the year.
“The US economy is facing big headwinds from surging interest rates, high inflation, the end of fiscal stimulus, and weak export markets abroad,” said Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank. “Businesses have turned cautious about adding to inventories and hiring, and will likely delay construction and other capex plans with credit more expensive and order books shrinking.”
Inflation as measured by the Fed’s preferred gauges — the personal consumption expenditures prices index and the index that strips out volatile food and energy components — is seen softening but still running well above the central bank’s 2% goal.
2023 Inflation Forecasts
1Q 2Q 3Q 4Q
PCE price index (YoY) 4.6% 3.5% 3.1% 2.8%
Core PCE price index (YoY) 4.2% 3.8% 3.4% 3.0%
That explains why Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaled last week, after the central bank raised its benchmark interest rate to the highest level since 2007, more tightening is in store for early next year. Powell also made clear that the Fed isn’t considering cutting rates in 2023. This year, the Fed raised rates by 4.25 percentage points, including four 75 basis-point hikes.
A key reason the Fed is likely to keep higher rates in place for an extended period is the resiliency of the job market. As the economy weakens, however, employment is seen succumbing. Economists expect payrolls to decline in the second and third quarters, and by the first quarter of 2024 the jobless rate is expected to peak at an average 4.9%.
And after firmer growth in the first half of the year, average hourly earnings are forecast to cool.
As high inflation and borrowing costs deal a blow to household finances, businesses are also seen pulling back. Economists project bigger declines in private investment, which include spending on equipment and structures, in the first three quarters of 2023 than they did a month ago. Those outlays are seen falling 3% on average.
Less investment, weak household spending and a global economy on the brink of a recession will hit the nation’s manufacturers particularly hard. The Bloomberg survey shows economists downgraded their estimates of industrial production for every quarter next year. Output is now seen averaging a 0.7% decline in 2023, much weaker than the 0.2% increase that was projected in November
