Homeostasis
On the coffee’s surface, Halkidiki
The Persian fleet is vanquished
Athos rises
– A bay tree rustles
It’s early yet
In the good spot
the fishermen stop
The anchor
bites the seabed
And they fish
and are seen by the mountains
– The coffee will be put into the thermos –
Nobody notices
the effort of the seabed
Then the anchor
breaks a stone
