In The Trick Sleep Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

In the trick sleep
Of the giant
After eating
A fast heavy
Meal
-ah! that was
Necessary
For the giant
Had roamed in
Hunger on
The plane
Languished in the caves
For days and days
And days
At night
With hunger
He heard trembling
With chill of hunger
In cave on
The plain
The shrieking waters
Flow
In the small cleft
Below
How hideous the
Water wraiths
Unwelcome under
The welcome and pitying
Moon.
But now
But now
The giant slept
Slept as small children sleep
Fell into the sweet trap
Of Morpheus
In to the hummock of Mnemosyne
Eyes closed
In chains of the Sub-Conscious yet
Free with no chains
