FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

most of the time
they talk about the coming of death
medicine as a highlight fades
like dusk to morning

the matter of evidence has become
rays of morning light
the series of travels from nepal to calcuta
to kuala
are not exactly the denials that most of them
thought
and when the talk has become one routine
like a train from pedro gil to edsa
it becomes another uninteresting view
at the Luneta
well it ends like everyone else
Life is like that and will always be an imitation
when death comes
one holds his cigarette puffs a smoke into the air
and then puts a stop to a stare
