Oroquieta

hot summer
on a rattan chair
facing the
blue pool
under a coconut tree
sipping
coca-cola

the table is full
deep fried crabs
buco-pandan salad
steamed rice
red watermelon
sliced
into tiny mouthfuls

meeting old friends
embroidered memories

silence struts
tumbling laughter
reminiscing
golden treasures
of those
youthful days
