the sea inside of me
in heat and secure in sunny pleasure,
then mists pile up into fogs haze onto Pasig River’s facade
water’s push against the banks and steady rains begin
gloomy hidden sunset ponders
Cygnus, the Swan
the acceptance of transience
contemplate beyond floods
separated visions now
across morning, when the rising waters initiate
clouds for sorrow,
the excess of brimming struggle
specifically impermanence
another word for rust,
the rain teems
in streams down the way
wash life through the footpath
current thick with hindrance
chaos never resists
the rounded flow, sends them departing
beneath creek brush, reaching for lifelines
and measure
to seek rhythms between strokes chosen
water rushing and lost and drowning
the rain seems endless,
as does the passage of time,
and the pain of mud is painted on the street signs of tomorrow.
after the unveiling and returns to tropic seclusion.
