The Sea Cannot Touch

THIS POEM WAS WRITTEN BY CIRILO F. BAUTISTA.

The sea cannot touch me now

nor the sky
in this room whose arms are 
your arms

They would spell the night

I took you for my wife
I do not think of candles in that church
Though they were there

the priest the words though they

were there
I think only of your sad
beautiful face following

the nothing there/the nothing

to construct our lives with/hoping
the singing birds would come
and house among its branches
