Six P.M.

Nick Joaquin

Trouvere at night, grammarian in the morning,

ruefully architecting syllables--

but in the afternoon my ivory tower falls.

I take a place in the bus among people returning

to love (domesticated) and the smell of onions burning

and women reaping the washlines as the Angelus tolls.

But I-where am I bound?

My garden, my four walls

and you project strange shores upon my yearning:

Atlantis? the Caribbeans? Or Cathay?

Conductor, do I get off at Sinai?

Apocalypse awaits me: urgent my sorrow

towards the undiscovered world that I

roam warm responding flesh for a while shall borrow:

conquistador tonight, clockpuncher tomorrow.
