Santorini

Diving in Santorini's turquoise crater
among the ghosts of lost civilizations
you imagine the tidal wave reaching Egypt
and destroying pharaoh's army

Let my people go!
you scream through your scuba regulator,
startling a passing parrot fish

But the Minoans stay buried
underneath the sands of time
