in May
a field
sprinkled
of stars
say lightning
say candle
say lantern
say lamp
Our elders
were Santelmo
ancestral
of unbaptized
turned fire
vengeance
in the prayer
These streaking
of light
not
When I cupped
I felt
of a soul
like an ancient
Now forever
like
We have
the rhythm
our lampposts
their calls
so that they may
their peace that night
dripping
of childhood
of pampas
by a steppe
in many names
child
kind
sprite
creature
thought they
lost
spirits
babies
seeking
or peace
of night
tonophants
irresistible
to palm
one
the furnace
fluctuate
bonfire
gone
dead star
desecrated
of life
disrupting
headlamps blinding By Ryan Caidic Biography: Ryan Caidic is a Filipino creative director based in Germany.
