The Island of Stars

to the top
we climbed in
the sunny shining
“ulihi ulihi gid kami”
they passed us by
going to the down
we are so late
so very very
late

My friends are co-ordinating a tree planting and livelihood project on Calagnaan Island in the Philippines. Known affectionately by locals as Bito-on Island, the word Bito-on in Ilonggo means star. How lovely.
