Mists And A Requiem Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Mists And A Requiem



In the high mists
A story unfolds
Then closes
Secret and
Morose:
A figure black
In mourning
Hangs
On the notes sad
Successive of a
Requiem.

A STORY UNFOLDS THEN CLOSES - That's the background for this dour scene of suspended animation. It's as if all possible acts and feelings are exhausted and all that is left is a gesture of mourning - All vitality has been drained out of this setting, even the figure is closer to a statue than a living being. It's either a Samuel Beckett kind of emptiness, or the promise of a new age.
