The Poet Seer In Carriage Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai
The Poet Seer In Carriage
The Poet Seer
in carriage
he is come to the monastery
up the hill road
the shanty road
made him more ill
with eyes closed
when the carriage door opened
he was helped on the carriage steps
by the out coming monks
the blaze of seeing vague
was in his eyes
as they carried him
living on a catafalque
as ants their precious prey
so in the monastery they,
the monks.
Off the shanty road
went carriage
remained a cell, a bed
a Poet Seer
and monks that prayed

When I saw the phrase THE POET SEER in this title I immediately thought, 'WHAT STAYING POWER EMMANUEL'S PERSONA HAS! and then I started reading and grieved that he is ailing and going to a monastery as if he is preparing his soul for eternity because his body is betraying him as ALL BODIES EVENTUALLY DO. I hope the monks' prayers for his recovery are answered positively or a passing angel will dispense a miracle, because we need our suffering champion the poet seer.
