malta's red tower

malta's red tower
wrought iron balconies
below it floating on
tan stone walls

a brave flag
over the battlements

windows in zig zag
patterns of life
and death played
almost like a play

until night
the sound of the waves


***


malta's red tower
dedicated to st agatha
staunch like a lion
looking over the sea

a brave flag
over the battlements

terraces below
patterns of life
and death stones
stubble and thoughts

until night
the sound of the waves
