GREEK FERRY BOAT LANDING: DAY

Lumpy Germans,
Looking Leicas through
At Greeks (their dark, languid
Eyes laughing, crying)
Eating octopus and ignoring
The echoed "Bitte"
Bouncing off the sun drenched walls.

GREEK FERRY BOAT LANDING: NIGHT

Waiting for a boat
On a sultry Greek island.
Memories of bells

(Tied carefully around the
necks of labouring donkeys).

Venus shining in the night;
Laughter wafting in the air

Fading as the wind
Changes direction, bringing
Cold, damp, fishy smells.
