Emmanuel George Cefai Poems

In Thought
There be compression without limit
There was a sound - of breaking glass
And broken
...

There Beauty stood - with Thought
And the cold remnants of extracted tusks
Of mammoths in the night
That passed last night
...

Do you remember when I fell on face
It was at the hospital door
And
In a wheel-chair carrying me
...

A dozen emotions all compressed
Into one thought
One feeling
And a song
...

One on the other
One after another
Succession
One into the other
...

Night after night
Came and went
Come and go
For millennia now:
...

There was a payment that I had to make
Every time
Every time I sang
So many the payments made
...

To sing a song and more
That be enough!
A year of singing!
A decade of singing
...

Balm and incense
They brought
Together:
And the smoke of night
...

Of action words you said
My Monsignor
Beauty and Action together go
Often
...
