Sweetness runs awayA Poem by Cece
Much can be said about lunch
To sit around talking a storm
Much to be said about rice and sabaw Too excitement for me
Already to die of boredom
For this of pool tables and halo-halo making Watching little girls eating halo-halo Barely missing their mouths with Halo-halo drops running from the mouth Wetting the chin of melted ice Setting is a compound of empty tables And of dormant tricycle vacant The seat tells a story of business trips made And pesos it made with such trips
Stories it can tell of butts that sit upon the seat Little girls still talk but of the halo-halo that did spill Now never to finish the dessert of ice and treats For it lay melting on the concrete With its purple and red sweetness running away © 2008 Cece |
