    This 3 stanza poem describes silent trails in the Benguet hills of the Philippines when mist veils the sun. Though the wind stirs ferns and bamboo sings, the trails remain silent. Local Benguet women pass, beating their pakkongs in a cadenced rhythm.

    SILENT TRAILS

    by Marcelo de Gracia Concepcion

    Silent trails
    Silent are the trails of Benguet
    hills,

    When the mist veils the sun -

    Even when the wind stirs the ferns


    And the bamboo brakes sing
    Their echoed murmurs.

    And the laden Benguet women


    pass;
    Beating their pakkongs*
    In cadenced monotones.
