It Rained So Hard In The Mountains Poem by RIC BASTASA

It Rained So Hard In The Mountains

Rating: 5.0


it rained so hard in the mountains
and the water ran
together toward the blue sea

a conquest
between brown and blue

i am looking.
the sea is parted.

brown is about fourteen meters.
and blue is driven away.

the trees are bald.
a coconut falls.

we wait. we see how
brownish things murk
the bluish shade of this world.

i am this Filipino.
I am brown. I am what
is this murkiness all about.

we parted.
