Baguio City (Scent of Pine Trees)

Poem and Photographs by Chester B. Cabalza with my wife Ann Oliva and our kids

Up hill. Upland.
The fog. The mist.
Luminous mountains.
At night.
The slope. The lights.
Like a yuletide season.
In the city - at night.


Dark cloud. Droplets of rains.
The morning dew.
Migraine.
Pine Trees. Fine spree.
Day and night.
Coffee shops. Cabs.
Session road.

The sky kisses the mountains.
Like a razor.

City life. Night life.
The pubs. The inns.
Lighted pine trees.
In the streets.
Spaces. Arts. Crafts.
Nourished. Creative.
Mansions. Retreat houses.

City life. Day life.
Market places. Parks.
Masses. Cathedrals.
Zigzag road. The deck.
Windows to heaven.
Sunny side. Summer.
Haven for lovers with L.Q.


Up hill. Upland.
Kingdom of flowers.
Kingdom of pine trees.
Kingdom of strawberries.
Kingdom who seek peace
of mind...

We're no longer together for years. Don't pretend and show others that you have a happy family! Don't you ever involve me or my name to your name! Come out of your closet!
