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 Gozaga town in Cagayan is aptly called STR or Sirok ti Rangtay (Under the Bridge). You have to pass under the bridge to reach the bank where a picnic area and a newly built hotel-type rooms for overnight visitors are found.
