Hellespont


At last, here on the shore of the Aegean sea,
Stranded like a stranger, dishevelled yet alive,
Sand in my mouth and hair, lying among debris,
Her heart's pulse like an echo that I can't revive,

The memory, cherished for too long, is now gone,
On this Thracian shore, as I lay torn, by doom drawn.
