By Sola Lebile
They too were here
When in their weary hearts
The beats of crossing there
Detached them off our charts
Say: What contains a kitten
MUST contain a flapping mouse
They open a door way
Upon the Mediterranean water
Across the Maitese pathway
In frigid and chanting waters
They are not fish.
They are not sharks
Swarming into U-rope
Floating down the watery slope
In search a parachuted life
Far and above the teakline
They too have arrived
Many with bloated tummies
Some with bruised faces
Others with withered hands
This Mediterranean cross
Is a glimpse of toppling dust!
- U-rope (written to mean Europe)
