On the Fantail Leaving the Philippines

Will Hiltz

On the Fantail Leaving the Philippines

 

 

 

 these islands

 

a thousand ripe memories

 

like perfumed clouds bringing soft rains

 

swelling the tropical streams of my soul

 

 

my heart

 

swims slowly

 

like the great sea turtles

 

endlessly roaming the Sibuyan Sea

 

with reptilian urgings to lay eggs again

 

on the warm brown sands of Luzon

 

 

on the bow

 

there is only the future

 

and the wind like time in your face
