I Have Writ Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

As I write the line and sing the verse
I committed be:
Of verse have I writ history.

I have writ sound too.

Sound that I hear.


Telere
Eki
Simer
Mere
Nomire
Dife
Sepe
Stere
Cimer
Teller

And
There a corner in Valletta
That weeps
Weeps always
Dreams
And
Weeps

I pass by daily almost.

And of it I dream daily
Daily.

Soundless the bird sleeps
For it wisdom has
And
As the corridors long of a monastery
Almost empty; silent be.
