Morning, Puerto del Mar, Isla Guimaras

Always, there is a hidden cove

in my heart
where all year it is summer
and the rain visits
only when I am desolate.
But this morning,
I am truly at the sea,
swimming by myself in waters
whose lines are clean as a poem
perhaps, heaven’s jetway is a
shore
with sand as fine and white as
the long dresses of angels.
Perhaps the chorus of their voic-
es
is cool and pure as the lapping
tongues

How blissful it would be to take
my last breath
reclining in the arms of the
sea,
wrapped in the warm rays
of a just-risen sun.
But I have many more poems
that I must write
