Are Not We Skeletons? Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Are Not We Skeletons?



Are not
We skeletons?
At the moment
Clothed in flesh
We hear
The bellman in the streets
We hear the paces
From our beds and
Warm rooms:
We glide
Into the pressure-oven
Of Time and clear waters
We will move slow
That Age will not
Stifle us that early
Gain more time:
Though
I am underneath and
At heart
A skeleton
