📍Capo Bruzzano, Calabria — March 2007

Winding south on the SS106, along the Ionian coast—
Calabria’s far edge, where Aspromonte’s cliffs break into the sea.
The water hammers the sandstone.

Around a bend: a fishing boat, stranded on the rocks—Kaptan Balıkçılık 1.
A Turkish name.
The hull, battered by the waves,
rocks as it takes on and off water.

I stop.
No one.
The sea offers no reply.
