Gabu

The poem describes the relentless crashing of the sea against the beach at Gabu, where the tide has worn away the land over centuries, leaving only grey, dead rock. The sea's daily pounding has ravaged the coastline for miles, stripping away all signs of life and reducing the area to neutral wasteland under the force of its elemental fury.

Gabu

By: Carlos Angeles

The battering restlessness of the sea


Insists a tidal fury upon the beach
At Gabu, and its pure consistency
Havocs the wasteland hard Within its reach.

Brutal the daylong bashing of its heart


Against the seascape where, for miles around,
Farther than sight itself, the rock-stones part And
drop into the elemental wound.

The waste of centuries is grey and dead


And neutral where the sea has beached its brine,
Where the split salt of its heart lies spread Among
the dark habiliments of Time.

The Vital splendor misses. For here


At Gabu where the ageless tide recurs
All things forfeited are most loved and dear.

It is the sea pursues a habit of shores.
