What breathes under the water you are floating on?

Odysseus was tied to a mast to get past this song.

They sang sailors under these rocks. What if the thing pulling you out loved you more than the thing pulling you in?

Ask Topa.

A fisherman called Suat. Sadık abi’s table, rakı and fish. An invitation for five in the morning.

Never take a woman on a fishing boat. She brings bad luck.

Why don’t the fishermen go there, I asked. “Efsane,” he said. Legend. Siren Kayalıkları.

Phokaia — from phoke, the seal. The house of the seals.

There is a threshold out there. After it, the friendly waves changed. A deep, sly wave began — as if the sea were breathing, slowly, underneath us.

And here they are. Two seals, taking their sunbed. Their private bay.

Suat said: once you have something to look at, something to love, all sickness goes away.

That is the whole fishing technique.

We said rastgele — let it come as it comes. He gave me another bait and said: be a Hu-man.

Nobody to show me how to pull the line in. Trust your instinct. Here it is. A big fish. How did I do that?

Topa swims past the rocks like they are nothing.

What is singing to you, that you had to tie yourself to a mast?
