Note For Siargao (4) Poem by RIC BASTASA

Note For Siargao (4)



THE USUAL QUESTIONS FOR YOU

why can't you be the
lotus?

or the cat?

why can't you just
be not
like myself?

we have had
enough of mud

we never wish
nine lives

why can't you be
like an ant?

we failed to tell
you
that even in sands
there can
still be a castle.
