White Prevalent Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Clouds
White prevalent
But not shy of changing colors
Nay faster than the chameleon

With every change of color
Here
Changing of feeling
With every change of feeling
Today
Change of emotion for the night
The morrow.


Today
Tomorrow
Early tomorrow.

Rivers of smoke
Armies of smoke
Ghosts of naked bones.

Salt
It flowed fro the crystal
Of dews that were
The weeping of post-dusk.

Kelishe
Dirime
Koribe
Deisi
Olit
Prere
Xerim
Nikles
Korim
Delus

Salt
Also flows in the tears of the
Burning face of sadness.

The Cock crowed not, though Dawn lay
Near.

The Horse of Sinon.

Keep the gift away!

I want Mtahleb.
