Beneath
A shard

A fragment
From some
Long dead
Civilization . . .

A cricket chirps
The only song
It will ever know

Under the shadows
Of its summer moon

fine Zen minimalism!

I am especially fond of the ending:

"...A cricket chirps
The only song
It will ever know

Under the shadows
Of its summer moon"

serious applause!!

But a song it is and you
just surrounded it with unique beauty.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!  I have been to Thera - I am passionate about the whole of Greece for every imaginable and unimaginable reason!  Loved your poem.
