The Flowers Of The Nipa Palm Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Flowers Of The Nipa Palm



the flowers of the nipa palm assume the color of
the brown, brackish swamp

expectedly, these flowers shine on the swamp
like fists of an angry man

deep within the thick covering, if one tries hard enough
to open what it has closed for all these years

is a white cloud, thick with syrup, something sweet
its fruits, from the flowers of its fists.
