Mahal Ko Kuya Ko
9 years ago
Where is the long-stretch onomatopoeia here?
Come to think of it, there was
something strangely poetic
about the raccoon standing
in front of the Chevy
on two iambic feet, enjambed
across the glowing center line--
his eyes frozen blank
like a verse in headlights
pooled on the pavement
eager to receive his fresh offering.
A defiant thought flashed
across black-masked eyes
at the sound of the tires' screech,
I'm not about to be a
jail-striped elegy.
