Yulita Poem by RIC BASTASA

Yulita



she is coming home
in bagong silang to claim

what rightfully belongs to
her as a birthright

the coconut land of her
father who never married

her mother who eloped with
a much younger man

in the village where the
sound of geckos outlive

the songs of the cicadas
the silence of the mayas.
