Amihan

(in Philippine, northeast wind)

 

Where I live,

When the weather

Comes from the east,

An unusual day

Arrives with it

 

Different time is allowed,

No value yet, not

Good or bad

 

Will the air be dense

With drenched nuclei,

Will the sky be sliced:

 

Will weighted water

Pummel us from above

 

Then, once cleansed—no,

Purged—and dried

 

Will we breathe

An ameliorating atmosphere

As a gift from no one

We know how to thank

 

Valued thus rendered

In innocence

 

With feet wet

From Eden’s tears,

We tread home

To do our best

To make

A heaven here
