Three boats ride at anchor in the calm night
Warning lights winking without respite
And the far headlands to left and right
Harbour the sea
Lapping under where we
From our balcony
Watch for the dawn
Ouzo that clouds when water’s poured in
Cigarettes in the half dark as dawn’s sighs begin:
The streaks in the east and that rattling din
Of fishing boats, early
Skies become pearly
Dawn with my girlie
By the Aegean
