The Storm brings me back to easy life - ghosts howl around the walls of Valletta






Time for an EXIT right out of the beginning of a winter's tale

into
the fully grown wind of an island in the middle


an island in the cross
ways
of
desires
trades
and
swords


in Our Sea of carcasses and broken dreams



were the walls still tell of old feuds and riches and might and fears




















restored with the help of our communion
Some seems to be recurrent
on repeat
instead of hold rewind and cumagain
The same waves as always during autumn and strong volleys of wind blow ashore




and a full moon plays hide and seek, light and dark, now you see me now you don't



on top of an exagerated yet humble human-made lightshow



were strange vessels



compete with each other and a bicicle that noone can ride but art





And even though it might be cold and windy for the Maltese



it feels like an exit into freedom for some
who come
from the North from the main from that land behind the mountains who are white already
as well as for some
who come
from the North from the island of motherly colonisation
But they are few right now
and they fall with night
the wind sweeps the streets
leaving few
enclosing many

-


So let those ghosts howl
at the walls of their unaccepted ends
and may they find their way into a better light
with the full moon
a spoon of liquor
and a grain of salt
like an incantation on an old horn
like a prayer on a broken lip


Valletta 18.11.13
