231 My 39th Leaf
231.
My 39th Leaf
Obtained thee from branch
Broken from its trunk
Fallen on the land
From a sturdy tree
“Indian Mango” leaf!
Owned by our neighbor
Gabo family
Doministo too
I'm with our neighbors
Watching vestiges
At three-thirty five
Of dark afternoon
Just after the storm
Weaker winds blowing
Fewer rains dropping
In front of the house
Of Dudoy Etic
Other side road
On way to river
From a branch fallen
Great devastation
Brought by a typhoon
A super typhoon
Labelled “Yolanda”
Marked in history!
