New Stories

For you,
I write
a path
with no end.

I write
a branch
sprouting
from the tree
growing
inside me.

I write
all that is hidden
in simmering blood
for you
(all I want to tell you
but can’t).

I write
the silence
hanging in the distance
embroidered
between us.

For you,
I write new stories
not with words
but with my finger
on your heart.

 

Poem originally written in Maltese, translated by Elizabeth Grech and edited by Tawfiq Haddad.
