EPITAPH*

Nestor S. Cuasay

Even hard rock
Proud and erect
Tires of its poise
And wears away
But I shall find
A better weapon
To defy mortality yet
A heritage to give
A legacy to leave
Each poem
Each written word
Inscribed
Not on the face of finite stone
But carved in the hearts of men
This shall be the epitaph
Announcing my triumph
Over death at last
Inscription imperishable
Even as hard rock
Proud and erect
Tires of its poise
And wears away

* To Papang Who Inspired Us
