Question

Gabu
by Carlos A. Angeles
The battering restlessness of the sea
Insists a tidal fury upon the beach
At Gabu, and its pure consistency
Havos the wasteland hard within its
reach.
Brutal the daylong bashing of its heart
Against the seascape where, for miles
around,
Farther than sight itself, the rock-
stones part
And drop into the elemental wound.
The waste of centuries is grey and dead
And neutral where the sea has
beached its brine,
Where the spilt salt of its heart lies
spread
Among the dark habiliments of Time.
The vital splendor misses. For here,
here
At Gabu where the ageless tide recurs
All things forfeited are most loved and
dear.
It is the sea pursues a habit of shores.
