The Earth, The Land Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

The Earth, The Land



the earth
the land
silent
intrepid in its
fear

breather of mists
cry of the wise
owl
beating of wings
of amorous
nightingales
instead of plaining

the wind is singing
a nocturnal suicide
the trees together
hit and pendulum-like
here and there go

Time speaks through
the chimes and bells
of cathedral and
the churches

the earth
the land
silent
intrepid in its
fear
