For GeneBoyd

(a photojournalist shot-dead in Jolo)



capturing Jolo's sunset is apolitical

Shot that tangerine sunset, gal.

but someone unjustly shot your head,

you wallow in blood; colored sun red.

there you were with your blood

all Mindanaoan journalists were sad

Grieve, grieve, grieve, and grieve.

Sun's tears outpour in your grave.

That was months and months ago...

In my dreams you formally bade adieu!

Tonight, my eyes raised candle and pen

Just as star twinkles the memory of you.
