92 My 20th Leaf

92.

My 20th Leaf



Plucked thee from near ground

Sprouts independent

On clayey barren

It's the weed type one

A pretty wild “fern”!



Basco family

Neighbor but not kin

Are they owning it?

Now that it's a weed?

Yet on their domain?



January Thirteenth

Friday Twenty Twelve

Old Nong Toging's wake

Night before burial

Saw some my students



Neighborhood to North

Way to the crossing

Not along the road

Front concrete abode

Beside bamboo fence



Friday the Thirteenth

Last day – Amaya

Hour after watch it

Saw CapSU students

I & some cousins!
