Emmanuel George Cefai Poems

Spectacles of ice
Solid
Stone-hard
And
...

When the heart be chill
And remains chill
Then
In as proportion direct
...

They gathered
They gathered
They gather round
From everywhere
...

The Bird Became a Reindeer
For three hours
And then returned again to Bird.
Wisdom was with it
...

Clarify your Thrust
Poet Seer you know not
Where go you
therefore
...

The Wall of Snails
As Soul to Soul attached
Walked
Together walked
...

Mtahleb.
Old Mtahleb
It saw not end but walked
And walked
...

Too heavy come the Words
Too heavy come the Lines
A Plodding Hammer is the Flow
In the River of Verses.
...

Wherefore?
wherefore so old, old Mtahleb?
You Age slow-millimetrical
And I would that naked from the flesh
...

A Spirit I become
A Night Spirit.
And roll down the jagged rock
Hurting
...
