Philippine literature in English has its roots in the efforts of the United States, then engaged in a war with Filipino nationalist forces at the end of the 19th century.

PASSIONAL

Wakes conjure in an uncanny pall,

A kind of sepulchral air evoking

Tombstones turned trysting chambers

For romancing late lovers freed

From life’s containing vaults.How she hates funerals,

This communal showOf makeshift grief, as leaden

Feet shove mourners in, deader

Than the mourned dead,The pale gloss of sympathy

Plastered on thicker than theExpert’s swab of simulated

smileUpon her own bemused face.

The Ophelia Alcantara Dimalanta Reader, Volume 1, Poetry (2005)
