Mandate Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Mandate
Of
The
Sun
The stars
The moon
Delving
Delving
Emotions
Walking
Straight
Lines
Then
Turning
Circular
Emotions
The
Night
On
The
Euphrates
Owl
That
Flew
Wise
And
Silent
Over
Tigris
Winnowing
Wind
That
Neighs
At
Night
Speaking
To
Lovers
Fans
Of
The
Sub-conscious
New
Civilization
Delight
Subdued
Experiences
New
Spirits
That
From
Their
High
Heavens
Descend
And
By
The
Sub-conscious
Stay
Waiting
Hidden
Then
Fading
Into
dawn
into
a
starless
heaven
promoting
themselves
the
black
erect
statue
fell
a
little
before
dawn
I
Woke
Afraid
Stunned
With my eyes
Shaken
