We are sitting there one opposite the other, the sea and me
neither I understand the sea nor the sea understands me
there is nothing between us except the fog that bothers us
wholeheartedly
and that is so, nothing that divides us into two seas
which are equally blue, endless and deserted
only one conjunction is between us – two stranded
estranged and sleepless twins
