Rommel Mark Dominguez Marchan - wind ***** WIND COMBS MY HAIR

(written in Palilan river, Palilan Jimenez, Mis. Occ.'Philippines
just a 10 m.. away from my home.A river is located at the back my
elem. grade school and to where i spent my concised childhood
moments, leisure times, chanting with friends, swimming, collecting shells, diving,
and escaping from 'undefined responsibilities'..........

A sentimental wind
follows down river;
bands of finger
brush the long column
of nipa leaves

whispering among
long-legged roots
of mangrove trees

Combing out my hair
in thrilling touch
Pulling out all wrinkles
of fears
in facing of my shadowy
future

and the wind dries up
all my tears

and the sole river remains
the mute witness forever

Rommel Mark Dominguez Marchan
