A loss to art

nixtieq nuri s-soghba tieghi ghall-mewt ta wiehed mill-aqwa skulturi li kellha malta.
nibghad il-kundoljanzi lill familjari kollha tieghu.
meta kont weggajt bil-mutur fl-1981 kien jigi jarani ta spiss fis-sitt gimghat li ghamilt l-isptar minkejja li nigu mill-boghod min xulxin.
ftit tas-snin ilu jien ghaddejt minn circustanzi difficli u paress li kont naf li hu ghaddej minn zmien difficli ukoll, ktibt din il-poezija li se naqsam mall-qarrejja.
