Watching Bats Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Watching bats
Was my task today
In the red dusk
On the terrace
In the chill of
The roof
Under frown of the heavens.
I watched the bats
Smiling.
But they shrieked and
They screamed terribly
Disrespectful animal-birds!
Do you not
Respect a Poet-Seer who wills
To view and to think
But right through his brain
Send wave-currents
In shock and in speeds
That light has
That light breeds
And split the orgasm of thought
In to two
A duality that needed a single
Unity.
