Amihan
The whistling wind
is like a ghost
that creeps inside
my hollow holes
dug by
your sudden absence.

The image is wistful. The poem more so. You set a haunting scene, sister. “[L]ike a ghost,” that is.

A haunting and beautiful poem Rosema. Amihan – my favourite word, so far. It was interesting reading about its’ origins and learning something about Tagalog culture. Thank you.
Here is my offering for today.
