[Summary] => Of course the bad sad news had to come via text, from his own cell phone. At first I thought Clovis was telling me that it was his "Papa" who had passed away. I was ready to text back words of sympathy when I was shocked to learn, scrolling down, that the message had been sent by his oldest son Argosy.

Terrible.

Clovis Nazareno, poet of Bohol, had left us.

Rang up the number only to realize that my godson Argosy couldn’t speak Tagalog, or was too distraught to speak at all, so that he passed on the gadget to an aunt.

Croaks of the elderly echoing the same stage

Hall of cinematic acrobatic lizard schemes.

The faded flag is draped over the coffin.

Above the torso peeks the cosmetic face, oblivious

To the gecko’s ceiling antics, begins to gather dust.

Tok ten times while the curved tail slaps the wall

Panel. We forecast our fortune by the alternate fall

Of the tok. Each exercise ends in smelling wax.

Coffee is served liberally like animosities.
