SUMMER CINQUAINS


i crossed 
the valley bridge;
found and lost her again,
and left the summers of my heart
behind.

that was
a bright full day;
saw her, gone forever,
and threw my own sweet monsoon dreams
away.

the next bridge...
some other place,
other space, how and where?
i'll just cross the next one when i--
get there.

The resort in Gonzaga town, Cagayan, is aptly called STR, or Sirok ti Rangtay (Under the Bridge). To reach the riverbank, you have to pass beneath the structure, where you will find a scenic picnic area and newly built, hotel-style rooms for overnight visitors.
