12. Is it the Kingfisher? By: Marjorie Evasco

13. This is how I desire god on this island With you today: basic and blue As the sea that softens our feet with salt And brings the living wave to our mouths Playing with sounds of a primary language. 15

14. “ God is blue,” sang the poet Juan Ramon Jimenez, Drunk with desiring, his hair, eyebrows, Eyelashes turned blue as the kingfisher’s wings. It is this bird that greets us as we come Round the eastern bend of this island; Tells us the hairbreadth boundary between us Is transient in the air, permeable to the blue 16

15. Of tropic skies and mountain gentian. Where we sit on this rock covered with seaweeds, I suddenly feel the blueness embrace us, This rock, this island, this changed air, The distance between us and the Self We have longed to be. 17

16. A bolt of burning blue Lights in my brain, gives the answer We’ve pursued this whole day: Seawaves sing it, the kingfisher flies in it, This island is rooted in it. Desiring God is transparent blue – the color Which makes our souls visible 18

21. a tiny dayuhan , dark and from some lupalog . Upside down my insides went in fright and pulled a cigarette so the redness of my face 24

22. wouldn’t show. I nahalata that the Whites there too were quiet so quiet, unable to speak in front of that Negro. Only when he left returned 25

23.   the normalcy in the station—others read again, neighbors gossiped again, laughter, the janitor sweeped again. After a while that Negro passed again 26

24. two white Americanas on each arm , blonde, their beauty with no equal. The janitor stopped sweeping. I thought, “So this is racial prejudice .” 27
