    This poem is about setting out adrift on a banca (small boat) at night when the gray winds blow, to travel over the waves to the western stars. The speaker wishes they had built an altar on the shore where the waves leave dew, so they could have gathered silver dust to bring young dreams. The speaker asks to be set adrift on the bay that night, to travel over the waves to the western stars with the evening.

    BUT THE WESTERN STARS

    ANGELA GLORIA-MANALANG
    1. Set me adrift on the bay tonight,
    Tonight when the gray winds blow,
    Over the waves to the western stars,
    My banca and I must go.
    2. You should have built an altar there
    here lingers the wave!born dew,
    "nd I would have ta#en the silver dust
    To gather young dreams for you.
    $. Then set me adrift on the bay tonight,
    Tonight when the gray winds blow,
    "nd over the waves to the western stars
    %vening and I will go.
