.“One more, please?” Pedro cried out a prayer. He counted the small
change he got from yesterday’s earnings. He still needed to meet his daily
quota of cotton candy sales before he could start making any profits for the
day. The gloom on his face being frightened and he couldn’t help a smile
broaden when two beautifully dressed girls approached him. “Manong, can
we get two cotton candies please?” the girl in a blue dress asked. “Yes, of
course, iha,” he replied. “Teresa! Come inside the van, we’re about to
leave,” a man’s voice shouted. “Ah, sorry Manong. Time to go,” she
apologized. “I’ll come back next week.”
The smile on Pedro’s face melted as he nodded hopefully at the girl. Then, a
lady carrying a baby from his side asked for half a dozen pieces. “Thank
you,” Pedro graciously whispered.

I stand on the roof

Of the Ateneo municipal,
Shivering
On this December morning.
Months ago,
Pepe came to me

About the stars
That do not collide
In the sky:

Instead, he asked me about purgatory

(His cheeks still ruddy
From the sudden sun
After the bitter winter
In Europe

And on this day

With the years beginning to turn,
Salt things my eyes.
I see Pepe,
A blur
Between the soldiers
With their Mausers raised
And the early morning’s

Star:
Still shimmering
Even if millions of miles away,
The star itself
Is already dead
