Tilus Triptych

After Kelvin S Mangundayao

I.
A tender nascency:
emerald

son.
               

                      II.
                      Cradle of verdant spears,
                      our wordless

                      care.
                                                

                                            III.
                                            Still heartbreak shrivels me;
                                            his arid

                                            loss.
