We take the boat back to Athens
cold and windy and a little rough

Dorsey lies down all the way

If she is Helen returned
she might again cause the launching
of a thousand ships
but she would not sail on one

I have an ouzo and man the bow
swells rising through my feet
feeling the eternity of the sea

When the islands are out of sight
I still feel and could steer
by the shape of the waves
