Landscape II by Carlos A. Angeles

I bought this today from the university press. I know I was supposed to be in class, I’m supposed to be doing homework or some other school-uppity stuff. But this is important. The world could wait.

Landscape II
Carlos A. Angeles

Sun in the knifed horizon bleeds the sky
Spilling a peacock stain upon the sands,
Across some murdered rocks refused to die.
It is your absence touches my sad hands
Blinded like flags in the wreck of air.

And catacombs of cloud enshroud the cool
And calm involvement of the darkened plains,
The stunted mourners here: and here, a full
And universal tenderness which drains
The sucked and golden breath of sky comes bare.

Now, while the dark basins the void of space,
Some sudden crickets, ambushing me near,
Discover vowels of your whispered face
And subtly cry. I touch your absence here
Remembering the speeches of your hair.

  1. The reader should be linguists of imagination to understand the poem. Go back to figures of speech and symbolism. Then you would know that the poet is sad and hurting for a loved-one has passed away. The symbols are expresses death.

  2. what does this poem mean and does it talk about a dead person who had just past away?
