Snows Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Snows



Snows
Snows
Though it be
June
Snows
Snows

Two boxers fight
Fight to the utterance
And
The snows fall
Fall in June

Snows
Snows
Though it be
June
Snows
Snows

I'm not sure what to make of snows in June, if they're real or imagined. Is this an hallucination or an abomination? But the two boxers who both seem committed to a fight to the death - that willingness to go to the nth degree of a violent sport, I can believe that - it's the gladiatorial instinct buried in every contact sport. Don't passionate audiences yell KILL! KILL! to motivate their favorites. So is this a poem of things spinning out of control, symbolized by snow in June?
