In Fort Santiago

The Intramuros is the old fortified part of Manila constructed by the Spaniards during their reign. Back in the day, it was Manila proper, though there were “extramuros” (outside the walls) neighborhoods, such as the Chinatown set up across the Pasig for Chinese Catholics so that they could both have a place to live at a safe distance while being watched for the inscrutableness that was assumed to lurk in the hearts of foreigners.

POEM: Early Morning Side Street

the street is striped

in chaotic echoes

of alternating amber arc light

&

leafy breeze-twisted shadows

from hardwoods lining the way

 

pre-dawn sweepers

scratch out a living

wisping leaves and debris off the walk

leaving wavy dust patterns in Zen garden fashion

 

that side street seems so long at that hour
