gentle wind –
the moon listens
to my stories

**

**

jeepney stop
a warm, fresh aroma drifting
from the panaderya

**

**

cobbled street –
a horse licks
the ice cream spill

**

**

children’s park
glowing in their eyes
salinggogon cymes

**

**

school festival
here and there
kulintang tunes

-Anthony Q. Rabang
