Estero
Dr Abe V Rotor
Photo by the author, circa 1990
It can't be trueThat a fisherman lives here.It can't be trueThat a child plays here.It can't be trueThat a soul remainsBehind the flimsy walls.
A baby cries;A moan risesFrom the murk and mist.Silent stepsTarry on the bridge.
* Estero is a part of the freshwater ecosystem linking Pasig River
with other rivers and Manila Bay.
- AV Rotor, Light in the Woods 1995, Megabooks
