The Jeepney Ride Home

Heavy Blue Bag. Black Dirty street.

But you were there.

Weighty Warm Air. Harsh Sunday World.

But you were there.

And your laughter surpassed every chaotic sound from man and machine.

And your words overshadowed the lingering darkness of my lady fear.

And Manila may downpour cruel realities of

Unspoken war and unanswered plea

Of mortified faith and manic deceptive story

When destination appears

And I’m hell gone

You were my journey

In that jeepney ride home.
