TE17 Mysterious Montenegro

Lena Ruth Stefanović

Argo Navis

Salty water is burning my skin I swim at random Here, near me, I hear dolphins,

the galleon’s eye is watching me

blind for the pain of the rowers

it does not see dolphins

indifferent, albeit enlightened (the eye of the galleon) or it is precisely because of it

it is there against the curses so the Argonauts wouldn’t become bewitched

minding my own business, as they say in this night in which I can’t sleep I am the sea I am a dolphin And I am the eye of the galleon
