The Barrio In The South Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Barrio In The South



the green waters rise
to rinse the roots of the coconut trees

the lilies float
the ripples carry them to a joyful journey
to the banks of the river
where the children play

this is the place that you miss
an island a hut a river
the peace and quiet
of the ipil-ipil leaves
showering when the wind passes
