Unplanned Tomorrow

Midnight muse, ideas come
as I sit beneath the spinning fan,
hearing some sort of vibration
motivate itself behind

forest geisha eyes in a
​tropical night,
she is present, wandering
dappled between dark fronds 

There is no way I lucked out––
I must have had some purpose

The rooster crows, it is 1:25 am,
everyone sleeps to prepare for 
El Nino parched tomorrow

University road wreathed with old trees,
Spanish moss hanging, 
I dream of mongo and inasal,
the never forgotten truth 
of native chicken, free to roam.

I worry about Dumaguete,
even this sleepy town exploding at the seams, 
and what comes in unplanned tomorrow.

I plot fabric while planning freedom.
