Thassos

On a deserted seashore
I shall stand waiting
for the wild wave to bring me
your gaze

And whatever it brings me
I will love since it comes from you
whether it be a pebble for a kiss
or a buoy

I shall stand waiting
from evening till morning
until I myself
become
a deserted seashore
in order to welcome you.
